Re: "finally" for unit test
I went with the TestCase.setUp() function. Thanks a lot! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
"finally" for unit test
hi! I have a unittest framework that tests a single function that in turn works with files (takes input and outputs in the same file, no return values). In the unittest class I assign a member with all the names of my testfiles and a testdirectory. The tests call the function (which opens and writes to the file) and then opens the file to see if everything is in order. The problem now is that after each testrun I have to copy "fresh" files into the testdirectory, since of course the function already run on all the files and made the changes. So I implemented a buffering in the unittest functions: buffer the file, call the function, make the test, write the buffered file back. This works fine for unittests that do not fail. If a unittest fails though the function stops and the writing back is never done. Is there something like a finally for unittest functions? Or could I use another approach to buffer and write back my files (for each unittest function)? thanks! gabriel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: replace illegal xml characters
> Does InDesign export broken XML documents? What exactly is your problem? yes, unfortunately it does. it uses all possible unicode characters, though not all are alowed in valid xml (see link in the first post). in any way for my application i should be checking if the xml that comes in is valid and replace all non-valid characters. is there something out there to do this? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
replace illegal xml characters
hi! I am working with InDesign exported xml and parse it in a python application. I learned here: http://boodebr.org/main/python/all-about-python-and-unicode that there actually are sets of illegal unicode characters for xml (and henceforth for every compliant xml parser). I already implemented a regex solution to replace the characters in question, but I wonder if there is a efficient and out-of-the-box solution somewhere out there for this problem. does anybody know? thanks! gabriel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
