I am having some trouble with testing user defined exceptions
==============
this one works
------------
def anexception(arg):
"""just raise an exception with ValueError"""
if arg == 5:
raise ValueError, 'Just a ValueError'
def test_anexception():
"""py.test for anexception"""
import py.test
py.test.raises(ValueError, anexception, 5)
===============
this one does not work
---------------
class MyError(Exception):
"""pass"""
pass
def anotherexception(arg):
"""just raise an exception with ValueError"""
if arg == 5:
raise MyError, 'its a MyError'
def test_anotherexception():
"""py.test for anotherexception"""
import py.test
py.test.raises(ValueError, anotherexception, 5)
================
Are test for user defined exceptions working in py.test
or
Am I doing something wrong ?
when it doesn't work, the output looks like
MacBook:~/Documents/doe2python_DSU santosh$ py.test doesntwork.py
inserting into sys.path:
/Users/santosh/Documents/coolshadowprojects/pydottest/py-dist
