New submission from Patrick Strawderman <patr...@zope.com>: doctest.DocFileTest inserts the test's path into the globs as "__file__", but doctest.DocTestCase's tearDown method simply calls globs.clear(), so that subsequent runs of the test case will not receive the same initial globals.
This means that doctests referencing __file__ cannot be run repeatedly without using a custom setUp that restores __file__. I think most would expect symmetry between setUp and tearDown, and in fact zope.testrunner operates with this false assumption when run with the "-N" option to repeat a test N times. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 111127 nosy: boogenhagn, fdrake priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: doctest DocFileCase setUp/tearDown asymmetry type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9327> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
