Hi

I have been reading about nose and I find it great.

I have been looking into TG's test and all exceptions related are like this, so say the exception name in the string but what if I must be sure that I get exception type X

    try:
        w.name = "foo"
        assert False, "should have gotten an exception"

    except ValueError:
        pass

I have this, but it will actually fail all the time,

It fails all the time because you can't get the exception to raise?

sorry I was refering to the second code, the one that has
except <someException>:
    assert True
asser False

What you have above is generally what I do, but if I'm testing for an exception there's usually a way to make the exception come up.

yes but you can only assert that a exception was raised not exception type X w.name="foo" could have given anything other then what I want it to raise. and the test will still "pass"
