New submission from Jason R. Coombs <jar...@jaraco.com>:
I'm trying to write a doctest that prints the hash and filename of a directory.
The input is the test dir, but due to the unordered nature of file systems, the
doctest checks for one known file:
def hash_files(root):
"""
>>> res = hash_files(Path(__file__).dirname())
Discovering documents
Hashing documents
...
>>> print(res)
...
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e __init__.py
...
"""
However, this test fails with:
――――――――――――――――――――――――― [doctest] jaraco.financial.records.hash_files
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
047
048 >>> res = hash_files(Path(__file__).dirname())
049 Discovering documents
050 Hashing documents
051 ...
052 >>> print(res)
Expected:
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e __init__.py
...
Got:
e1f9390d13c90c7ed601afffd1b9a9f9 records.py

<BLANKLINE>
The first ellipsis is interpreted as a degenerate continuation of the input
line, and it seems it's not possible to have an ellipsis at the beginning of
the expected input.
Is there any workaround for this issue?
