New submission from Steve C <scire...@gmail.com>:
When running unit tests with the --verbose flag test descriptions are run using the first line of the test case's docstring. If the first character of the docstring is a newline, no description is printed. Examples: Current code expects docstrings to look like '''It should return blah blah This is a test... ''' Where the description starts on the first line. Some Python developers start the string on the next line. Example: ''' It should return blah blah This is a test... ''' Lib.unittest.case.TestCase:shortDescription should first strip the docstrip of beginning and trailing whitespace. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 360666 nosy: Steve C2 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: unittest TestCase shortDescription does not strip whitespace type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39450> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
