Dear Web.Py Web.Test crowd. (If none of you have heard of Web.Test, advise me to search up ITS group!;)
I am a card-carrying diagnosted test infectee. I wrote the top joke here, for example: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TestInfected When I run a webtest test, two things happen. Only the second one is my primary question: - some of its internal assertions are bogus, and I must turn them off with this: from webtest import lint lint.check_content_type = lambda status, headers: None # This fixes a bug in # the linter! Delete etc have no content type to check... - aaand, when I run unit tests and hit an error, the web.py and webtest layers conspire to snarf the error message, as if I were an end-user who should not see them. I need to see only primary assertion fault diagnostics on my text console - not the irrelevant mumble-gumble that happens AFTER the mocked website delivers a 500 error to the test case's response object. I must wrap this around my more explosive method calls: try: might_explode() except: log.error(traceback.print_exc()) raise That's not very Pythonesque (meaning, in some circles, it's - ahem - a little TOO Pythonesque!). Less is more, ESPECIALLY in the area of exception abuse. I am at the "remove as many lines as possible" phase of my Agile/TDD project, and I need more freedom to explode things! How do I make the web.py stack STOP intercepting website faults and turning them into blank 500 pages for non-existent users? Just let them fly, so the test runner can pick them up? (And please don't misread to think I'm trying to blast error details at the website user - I just need them to register correctly in a test runner's assertion fault diagnostic journal system!) -- Phlip http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ZeekLand -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
