New issue 692: xfail decorator seems not to honour "raises" parameter https://bitbucket.org/pytest-dev/pytest/issue/692/xfail-decorator-seems-not-to-honour-raises
henning sprang: When trying to use the pytest "xfail" decorator together with it's "raises" parameter to become aware of changes in the application behaviour when currently dysfunctional part of the application start work again and we'll not get basic technical errors but actual assertion failure (or, eventually, a *different* not yet expected application error), I observe that the raises parameter is no taken into account at all. Whatever I put in there, and whatever reason the test fails inside (error when caling application or asertion, independent of which error or exception is thrown), the test is simply reported as expected to fail - unles it succeeds with absolutely no error and exception, then it's reported as xpassed. See example and discussion there: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28916186/pytest-using-xfail-together-with-raises-test-keep-xfailiing-though-unexpected?noredirect=1#comment46090691_28916186 _______________________________________________ pytest-commit mailing list pytest-commit@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pytest-commit
