Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment: Idea: when a regrtest check fails, the test is run again but a WatchfulMixin is injected into the test case’s bases, so that setUp and tearDown call the right methods. This would be more efficient than always running with a watchful test

STINNER Victor victor.stin...@haypocalc.com added the comment: I’d like regrtest to tell me what exactly was changed, and where. regrtests has many tests (you give some examples: os.environ, sys.path), run all tests after calling a single test function would make regrtest slower. We can add

Michael Foord mich...@voidspace.org.uk added the comment: I don't think this is something that belongs in unittest - it's not something particularly useful (or at least particularly requested) outside of the python test suite. No reason that a WatchfulTestRunner couldn't live in regrtest.

New submission from Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org: When regrtest tells me that os.environ was modified by test_packaging, it’s very hard to find which test is responsible. The -vv output is hard to read: it prints four dictionaries, which I have to visually delineate, copy, paste,

R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment: Improvements are welcome, the whole thing was a QnD hack that has been evolving over time...maybe there's some way to reuse unittest's assertEqual machinery? I also wonder if the whole environment-changed thing should be moved into

Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment: maybe there's some way to reuse unittest's assertEqual machinery? Hum, I think the diff functionality is cleanly separated in a (private) method, so we could get diff for free. I also wonder if the whole environment-changed thing should be
