New submission from Facundo Batista <facu...@taniquetil.com.ar>: Sometimes it's nice to do extra checks on the error raised and captured by self.assertRaises call.
Yes, the same can be achieved using assertRaises as a context manager and then accessing the `exception` attribute in the context manager, but it looks too cumbersome to just get the exception, when it can be simply returned by the assertRaises call. Note 1: Currently it returns None, so no backward compatibility problem. Note 2: assertRaises in testtools does this and is very useful ---------- messages: 309414 nosy: facundobatista priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: assertRaises should return the "captured" exception type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32487> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
