Collin Winter c2898c5a67 Standardize on test.test_support.run_unittest() (as opposed to a mix of run_unittest() and run_suite()). Also, add functionality to run_unittest() that admits usage of unittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule(). 2007-04-25 17:29:52 +00:00
Brett Cannon 27ef61ca18 Change the docs to no longer claim that unittest is preferred over doctest for
regression tests.

Brett Cannon a30fcb4dae Introduce test.test_support.TransientResource. It's a context manager to
surround calls to resources that may or may not be available.  Specifying the
expected exception and attributes to be raised if the resource is not available
prevents overly broad catching of exceptions.

This is meant to help suppress spurious failures by raising
test.test_support.ResourceDenied if the exception matches.  It would probably
be good to go through the various network tests and surround the calls to catch
connection timeouts (as done with test_socket_ssl in this commit).

George Yoshida 7366fcecdf Note that guard_warnings_filter was added in 2.6 2006-12-14 02:22:44 +00:00
Brett Cannon 6d9520c4f0 Add test.test_support.guard_warnings_filter . This function returns a context
manager that protects warnings.filter from being modified once the context is
exited.

Brett Cannon c8aa848ece Have test_mkalias_relative check that sys.prefix already exists; otherwise test
is pointless.

Also add a note to the docs for the 'test' package that test cases should check
first that any conditions needed in the operating system are met before having
a test run.

Closes bug #1077302.  THanks, Ian Holsman.
