Ezio Melotti added the comment: > For one thing, I think resources could be implemented in terms of skips
While working on #17333 I noticed a related problem. Most of the tests in test_imaplib are skipped if the 'network' resource is not specified. The test contains the following lines to enable those tests when the file is executed directly: if __name__ == "__main__": support.use_resources = ['network'] unittest.main() but this clearly doesn't work while using unittest discovery, so those tests are skipped. Implementing resources as skips makes sense, but we might also need a way to specify what resources are needed that works with unittest discovery. Running these tests only when the test file is executed directly or through `regrtest -u` is also an option. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10967> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
