Remove various dependencies on dictionary order in the standard library
tests, and one (clearly an oversight, potentially critical) in the
standard library itself - base64.py.
Remaining open issues:
* test_extcall is an output test, messy to make robust
* tarfile.py has a potential bug here, but I'm not familiar
enough with this code. Filed in as SF bug #1496501.
* urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgr() returns a random result if there is more
than one matching root path. I'm asking python-dev for
clarification...
showing that doctest's pdb.set_trace() support was dramatically broken.
doctest.py _OutputRedirectingPdb.trace_dispatch(): Return a local trace
function instead of (implicitly) None. Else interaction with pdb was
bizarre, noticing only 'call' events. Amazingly, the existing set_trace()
tests didn't care.
request. Tim says that "correct 'fuzzy' comparison of floats cannot
be automated." (The motivation behind adding the new option
was verifying interactive examples in Python's latex documentation;
several such examples use numbers that don't print consistently on
different platforms.)
all examples in a given text file. (analagous to "testmod")
- Minor docstring fixes.
- Added module_relative parameter to DocTestFile/DocTestSuite, which
controls whether paths are module-relative & os-independent, or
os-specific.
- Fixed bug in handling of absolute paths.
- If run from an interactive session, make paths relative to the
directory containing sys.argv[0] (since __main__ doesn't have
a __file__ attribute).
with default False for testmod(). The real point of introducing this was
so that output from doctest.master.summarize() would be the same as in
2.3, and doctest.master in 2.4 is a backward-compatability hack used only
by testmod().
in the new docs.
DocTestRunner.__run: Separate the determination of the example outcome
from reporting that outcome, to squash brittle code duplication and
excessive nesting.
to unittest, so make it official: new module constants COMPARISON_FLAGS
and REPORTING_FLAGS, which are bitmasks or'ing together the relevant
individual option flags.
set_unittest_reportflags(): Reworked to use REPORTING_FLAGS, and
simplified overly complicated flag logic.
class FakeModule: Removed this; neither documented nor used.
- Improvements to interactive debugging support:
- Changed the replacement pdb.set_trace to redirect stdout to the
real stdout *only* during interactive debugging; stdout from code
continues to go to the fake stdout.
- When the interactive debugger gets to the end of an example,
automatically continue.
- Use a replacement linecache.getlines that will return source lines
from doctest examples; this makes the source available to the
debugger for interactive debugging.
- In test_doctest, use a specialized _FakeOutput class instead of a
temporary file to fake stdin for the interactive interpreter.
and intervening text strings.
- Removed DocTestParser.get_program(): use script_from_examples()
instead.
- Fixed bug in DocTestParser._INDENT_RE
- Fixed bug in DocTestParser._min_indent
- Moved _want_comment() to the utility function section
actual output into lines created spurious empty lines at the ends of
each. Those matched, but the fancy diffs had surprising line counts (1
larger than expected), and tests kept having to slam <BLANKLINE> into the
expected output to account for this. Using the splitlines() string method
with keepends=True instead accomplishes what was intended directly.
While a fancy diff can be confusing in the presence of ellipses, so far
I'm finding (2-0-0) that it's much more a major aid in narrowing down the
possibilities when an ellipsis-slinging test fails. So we no longer
refuse to do a fancy diff just because of ellipses.
This isn't ideal; it's just better.
rather than an expected output string. This gives the
output_difference method access to more information, such as the
indentation of the example, which might be useful.
NDIFF_DIFF->REPORT_NDIFF. This establishes the naming convention that
all reporting options should begin with "REPORT_" (since reporting
options are a different class from output comparison options; but they
are both set in optionflags).
to be more consistent with report_failure()
- If `want` or `got` is empty, then print "Expected nothing\n" or
"Got nothing\n" rather than "Expected:\n" or "Got:\n"
- Got rid of _tag_msg
exception message, or None if no exception is expected); and moved
exception parsing from DocTestRunner to DocTestParser. This is
architecturally cleaner, since it moves all parsing work to
DocTestParser; and it should make it easier for code outside
DocTestRunner (notably debugging code) to properly handle expected
exceptions.
a traceback message. I.e., examples that raise exceptions may no
longer generate pre-exception output. This restores the behavior of
doctest in python 2.3. The ability to check pre-exception output is
being removed because it makes the documentation simpler; and because
there are very few use cases for it.
