New submission from Zachary Ware: Some tests in the test suite are not implemented for one reason or another, and most of these are defined simply as "def test_thats_not_implemented(self): pass", possibly with a comment meant to be a reminder to implement it. This patch adds a decorator to test.support which turns the non-test into an expected failure with a docstring. This means that when run in verbose mode, instead of showing:
""" test_thats_not_implemented (test.test_sometest.TestClass) ... ok """ it will instead show: """ Not Implemented: TestClass.test_thats_not_implemented ... expected failure """ This should make it more obvious that such a test needs some work. The patch also applies the decorator in test_minidom as an example; there are a few other places that could use it as well. ---------- components: Tests files: support.not_implemented.diff keywords: patch messages: 202907 nosy: ezio.melotti, michael.foord, pitrou, serhiy.storchaka, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Add decorator for tests not yet implemented type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file32626/support.not_implemented.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19597> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
