Hi, I've got some tests for a module which manages log files. The setup_class and teardown_class functions create and delete a directory for them, and the teardown_method function deletes the individual files based on a list. When a test fails, it can leave files which aren't on the list, so don't get deleted in teardown_method, which makes teardown_class choke on os.rmdir (because the directory is not empty). While I do need to know if there are files left over, the problem is that when an exception occurs in a hook, it shows a traceback for that only, and not the actual test failure, so I can't tell what failed.
Am I just doing this wrong, or is this a bit of a bug? I would prefer an exception in [setup|teardown]_method to fail that method, and an exception in [setup|teardown]_class to fail all the tests in that class, and if an exception is raised in a test and the following hook, tracebacks for both should be displayed. As an aside, stdout capture doesn't work particularly well from the hooks either. Matthew
