# Ridiculously simple test of the os.startfile function for Windows.
#
# empty.vbs is an empty file (except for a comment), which does
# nothing when run with cscript or wscript.
#
# A possible improvement would be to have empty.vbs do something that
# we can detect here, to make sure that not only the os.startfile()
# call succeeded, but also the the script actually has run.
import unittest
from test import support
# use this form so that the test is skipped when startfile is not available:
from os import startfile, path
class TestCase(unittest.TestCase):
def test_nonexisting(self):
self.assertRaises(OSError, startfile, "nonexisting.vbs")
def test_empty(self):
empty = path.join(path.dirname(__file__), "empty.vbs")
startfile(empty)
startfile(empty, "open")
