Barry Warsaw 5ca537473b Rewrote the PyUnit description so that it now recommends to use
run_suite() instead of run_unittest().  Best practice is to plan for
multiple test classes.

Tim Peters bea3fb83a7 Repair late-night doc typos. 2001-09-10 01:39:21 +00:00
Tim Peters a0a6222509 Teach regrtest how to pass on doctest failure msgs. This is done via a
horridly inefficient hack in regrtest's Compare class, but it's about as
clean as can be:  regrtest has to set up the Compare instance before
importing a test module, and by the time the module *is* imported it's too
late to change that decision.  The good news is that the more tests we
convert to unittest and doctest, the less the inefficiency here matters.
Even now there are few tests with large expected-output files (the new
cost here is a Python-level call per .write() when there's an expected-
output file).

Guido van Rossum 54a069f271 When Tim untabified this file, his editor accidentally assumed 4-space
tabs.  The title was centered using 8-byte tabs, however, and the
result looked strange.  Fixed this.

Tim Peters f5f6c436c6 Remove test_doctest's expected-output file.
Change test_doctest and test_difflib to pass regrtest's notion of
verbosity on to doctest.
Add explanation for a dozen "new" things to test/README.

Fred Drake a6daad2e55 Update to reflect recent changes to regrtest and the new approaches to
testing using doctest and PyUnit.

Fred Drake 44b6bd2179 Added note saying to use test_support.TESTFN for a temporary filename,
and be clear that you need to clean it up when done.

Tim Peters a48b526745 Rehabilitate autotest.py.
In README:  Write up (Guido's) rules for intra-test imports; warn against
asserts; document test_support.use_large_resources.

Fred Drake 62c53ddabe Add TestSkipped as another interesting item defined by test_support. 2000-08-21 16:55:57 +00:00
Thomas Wouters b9fa0a843e Raise 'TestSkipped' (from the test_support) module rather than 'ImportError'
to signify a test that should be marked as 'skipped' rather than 'failed'.
Also 'document' it, in README.
