When running unittest with the -v flag, if a test has errors, and has a
docstring, the test name is shown on one line, and the docstring is shown on
the next line with the `ERROR` word.
For example:
./python.exe -m unittest -v Lib.test_verbose_error.randomTest
test_one (Lib.test_verbose_error.randomTest)
this is a doc string with helpful info ... ERROR
======================================================================
ERROR: test_one (Lib.test_verbose_error.randomTest)
this is a doc string with helpful info
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/workspaces/cpython/Lib/test_verbose_error.py", line 11, in test_one
assert l[1]
~^^^
IndexError: list index out of range
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 0.004s
This cause for some confusion and we would like to fix it, the possible options
are:
1. print the name and docstring, and ERROR, all on one line.
2. provide a command-line switch to select that behavior.
The first option has a minor backwards compatibility breakage, since the
default output would change and those lines would get longer.
Any thoughts on the mentioned solutions?
