It is probably intentional that TextTestResult uses the TestCase instance's friendly name in its getDescription() method as opposed to the id. > TextTestRunner calls str(TestCase) directly, which makes it hard for > testscenarios to rename the test cases as it parameterises them What about testscenarios subclassing the TestCase instances as it parametrizes them? class ScenariosTestCase(case.__class__): def __str__(self): return "testscenarios test name..." case.__class__ = ScenariosTestCase print(str(case)) >From the documentation, it looks like testscenarios creates new test objects >from the originals anyways. Alternatively (although I don't if testscenarios >can control what test runner is being used), TextTestRunner could be >subclassed with its own getDescription() method. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16288> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
