[Robert Collins]

Robert Collins added the comment:

+1 to changing the UI for 3.7 - just noting that if you're machine processing 
the output, the TUI isn't an appropriate channel.

R. David Murray added the comment:

My understanding of the comments is that the change to the default is OK (in a 
feature release, at least).

[issue22431] Change format of test runner output

[Tim Graham]

Tim Graham added the comment:

Is there opposition to changing the default output as outlined in the first 
comment? If so, then I think this ticket should be closed or retitled to 
reflect the intent.

[issue22431] Change format of test runner output

[Robert Collins]

Robert Collins added the comment:

Yes, making customising the output easier is a good thing. One way is to use 
e.g. subunit.run (which can work with all unittest versions since 2.6) and 
write a custom filter. Or a custom TestResult and TextTestRunner can work too :)

[issue22431] Change format of test runner output

[Michael Foord]

Michael Foord added the comment:

I agree with Robert that the text output of the default runner should not be 
considered a part of the api that we make backwards compatible guarantees 
about. People who want to customise that should be customising the text 
runner/result. (Unfortunately it requires tinkering with both at the moment.)

[Robert Collins]

Robert Collins added the comment:

I don't consider the console output of unittest to be a stable interface. 
Michael - do you?

Things that want to process unittest should be using the API.

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

I agree with Robert. However, since software authors' wishes can clearly be 
diverse here, perhaps there should be a simple way for them to customize the 
output?

[issue22431] Change format of test runner output

[Philipp Metzler]

New submission from Philipp Metzler:

Can I change the test runner output format to
main.tests.tests.TimeSlotTestCase.test_creation ... ERROR
instead of
test_creation (main.tests.tests.TimeSlotTestCase) ... ERROR
so that I can easily just copypaste that line and run the test again without 
having to remove the brackets () and having to copy the name of the test behind 
the class and add a .?

[issue22431] Change format of test runner output

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I remember this feature being requested before (I vote +1 myself :), and I 
believe I recall a conversation involving Michael Foord where he approved it in 
principle, but I can't find an open issue for it.  As a new feature it can only 
go into 3.5, and would presumably need to be controlled by an option somewhere 
to preserve backward compatibility with things that parse unittest output.

If you want to work on a patch that would be welcome.
