New submission from Jeff Tratner:
One of the examples for assertRaisesRegex(p) is wrong by one character.
Current is:
self.assertRaisesRegexp(ValueError, 'invalid literal for.*XYZ$',
int, 'XYZ')
The $ at the end is wrong because the actual error message is "ValueError:
invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'XYZ'" (with a ``'`` at the end). Two
options for fixing.
Option 1 - remove $
self.assertRaisesRegexp(ValueError, 'invalid literal for.*XYZ',
int, 'XYZ')
Option 2 - add '
self.assertRaisesRegexp(ValueError, 'invalid literal for.*XYZ\'$',
int, 'XYZ')
Same example is shown for assertRaisesRegex, so applies to both.
And for completeness...here's something you can run to see the error [couldn't
figure out how to attach two files]:
import unittest
class MyTest(unittest.TestCase):
def test_example(self):
# this fails
self.assertRaisesRegexp(ValueError, 'invalid literal for.*XYZ$',
int, 'XYZ')
def test_option1(self):
self.assertRaisesRegexp(ValueError, 'invalid literal for.*XYZ',
int, 'XYZ')
def test_option2(self):
self.assertRaisesRegexp(ValueError, 'invalid literal for.*XYZ\'$',
int, 'XYZ')
unittest.main()
