newlines; it doesn't. To rectify this the string returned replaces all
instances of os.linesep with '\n' to fake universal newline support.
Backport candidate.
This change implements a new bytecode compiler, based on a
transformation of the parse tree to an abstract syntax defined in
Parser/Python.asdl.
The compiler implementation is not complete, but it is in stable
enough shape to run the entire test suite excepting two disabled
tests.
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.
- 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.
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.
- Test filenames sometimes had trailing .pyc or .pyo sufixes
(when module __file__ did).
- Trailing spaces spaces in expected output were dropped.
New default failure format:
- Separation of examples from file info makes examples easier to see
- More vertical separation, improving readability
- Emacs-recognized file info (also closer to Python exception format)
are non-obvious either way because the newline character "is invisible",
but it's still there all the same, and it's easier to explain/predict
if that reality is left alone.
