In this scenario, I must make sure that both the correct exception is raised and that the contained error code is correct: try: foo() self.fail('exception not raised') catch MyException as e: self.assertEqual(e.errorcode, SOME_FOO_ERROR) catch Exception: self.fail('unexpected exception raised')Secondly, that is not the right way to do this unit test. You are testing two distinct things, so you should write it as two separate tests:
I have to disagree -- I do not see the advantage of writing a second test that *will* fail if the first test fails as opposed to bundling both tests together, and having one failure.
