Jason R. Coombs <jar...@jaraco.com> added the comment:
After some investigation (and tracing calls through a dozen or more layers), I
found that Python's own regression tests can disable this behavior thus:
```
diff --git a/Lib/test/support/testresult.py b/Lib/test/support/testresult.py
index 2cd1366cd8..328ca8760e 100644
--- a/Lib/test/support/testresult.py
+++ b/Lib/test/support/testresult.py
@@ -145,7 +145,8 @@ def get_test_runner_class(verbosity, buffer=False):
return functools.partial(unittest.TextTestRunner,
resultclass=RegressionTestResult,
buffer=buffer,
- verbosity=verbosity)
+ verbosity=verbosity,
+ descriptions=False,)
return functools.partial(QuietRegressionTestRunner, buffer=buffer)
def get_test_runner(stream, verbosity, capture_output=False):
```
Combined with the above diff (with a docstring), the output is now as desired:
```
$ ./python.exe -m test -v test_importlib | grep '... ERROR'
test_entry_points_unique_packages
(test.test_importlib.test_metadata_api.APITests) ... ERROR
test test_importlib failed
```
It seems it would be wise to enable this setting by default, given that without
it, every test module is forced to replace docstrings with comments.
