New submission from Peter de Blanc <pe...@standard.ai>:
According to unittest docs: https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/unittest.html#module-unittest `setUpClass is called with the class as the only argument and must be decorated as a classmethod()` and: `tearDownClass is called with the class as the only argument and must be decorated as a classmethod()` However, I was able to create a passing test case where `setUpClass` and `tearDownClass` are decorated with `@staticmethod` instead of `@classmethod`: I tested this with Python versions 3.6.4 and 3.7.1. Please update the documentation to indicate that `@staticmethod` is allowed here, or else indicate why it's bad. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: test_bar.py messages: 339700 nosy: Peter de Blanc, ezio.melotti, michael.foord, rbcollins priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: @staticmethod seems to work with setUpClass, but docs say it shouldn't type: behavior versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file48251/test_bar.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36569> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
