And how are you running the test? And what output do you get that tells you 4 ran? We need to know what is happening in more detail. While you are at it, which OS and Python version too. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

You cannot have have multiple methods with the same name in the same class.Change the name of the last 2 methods in your class and your problem will go away.

No. (That would be silly, nay, crazy even.) > Anyone have any ideas how i can solve this problem? Alan's answer is the first port of call. You really need to give us more to work with, otherwise we're just guessing, and if we have to guess it makes our lives and your life more difficult than it needs to be. That said, what you describe makes me suspect indentation problems of some sort. It sounds almost as if the latter test methods are somehow considered to be inside the former test code, such that they're not "seen" by the testing framework's test discovery process. And, when you then comment out the prior 2 methods, the latter 2 become "visible" due to not being in the former's enclosing scope. Or something like that. But, that's just a guess, and may be way off base... Walter ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Is this the default behaviour I'm pretty sure its not the default but it might help if you posted the code and a cut n' paste of your test session. That way we can see what framework you use, how you use it and what actually happens. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
