[issue36825] Make TestCase aware of the command line arguments given to TestProgram

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

Since test modules can already be run in parallel, #37873 does not seem 
relevant here.  (And I agree with the intent of that.)

I would be reluctant to add a mechanism with no current use, so I would not 
apply absent a decision to add one.

[issue36825] Make TestCase aware of the command line arguments given to TestProgram

[Rémi Lapeyre]

Rémi Lapeyre  added the comment:

Bumping this issue as issue 37873 that wants to add a new -j argument to 
unittest got some attention lately.

This PR makes the Test Cases aware of the command line arguments given to 
unittest.main() and is needed to add the --pdb argument proposed in issue 18765 
to run pdb.post_mortem() when an exception occurs during a test.

Both this issue and #18765 would be very useful to augment unittest.

[issue36825] Make TestCase aware of the command line arguments given to TestProgram

[Rémi Lapeyre]

New submission from Rémi Lapeyre :

Hi, to make unittest more extensible and for issue 18765 (having a way to run 
pdb when tests fail), I would like to make TestCase aware of the command line 
arguments given to the TestProgram so they can adapt their behavior based on 
them.

I suggested this change on python-ideas 
(https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2019-March/055842.html) but it 
did not get much attention.

I'm opening a PR in the hope to get more feedback and will start writing 
documentation.

Please comment if this is not appropriate or regarding anything I might have 
not thought of.
