class documentation

Replaces many of the built-in TestCase assertions. In general, these assertions provide better error messages and are easier to use in callbacks.

Method assertAlmostEqual Fail if the two objects are unequal as determined by their difference rounded to the given number of decimal places (default 7) and comparing to zero.
Method assertApproximates Fail if first - second > tolerance
Method assertEqual Fail the test if first and second are not equal.
Method assertFalse Fail the test if condition evaluates to True.
Method assertIn Fail the test if containee is not found in container.
Method assertIs Fail the test if first is not second. This is an obect-identity-equality test, not an object equality (i.e. __eq__) test.
Method assertIsInstance Fail if instance is not an instance of the given class or of one of the given classes.
Method assertIsNot Fail the test if first is second. This is an obect-identity-equality test, not an object equality (i.e. __eq__) test.
Method assertNoResult Assert that deferred does not have a result at this point.
Method assertNotAlmostEqual Fail if the two objects are equal as determined by their difference rounded to the given number of decimal places (default 7) and comparing to zero.
Method assertNotEqual Fail the test if first == second.
Method assertNotIn Fail the test if containee is found in container.
Method assertNotIsInstance Fail if instance is an instance of the given class or of one of the given classes.
Method assertNotSubstring Fail if astring contains substring.
Method assertRaises Fail the test unless calling the function f with the given args and kwargs raises exception. The failure will report the traceback and call stack of the unexpected exception.
Method assertSubstring Fail if substring does not exist within astring.
Method assertTrue Fail the test if condition evaluates to False.
Method assertWarns Fail if the given function doesn't generate the specified warning when called. It calls the function, checks the warning, and forwards the result of the function if everything is fine.
Method fail Absolutely fail the test. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.
Method failureResultOf Return the current failure result of deferred or raise self.failureException.
Method successResultOf Return the current success result of deferred or raise self.failureException.
def assertAlmostEqual(self, first, second, places=7, msg=None, delta=None): (source)

Fail if the two objects are unequal as determined by their difference rounded to the given number of decimal places (default 7) and comparing to zero.

Notes
decimal places (from zero) is usually not the same as significant digits (measured from the most significant digit).
included for compatibility with PyUnit test cases

def assertIn(self, containee, container, msg=None): (source)

Fail the test if containee is not found in container.

Parameters
containeethe value that should be in container
containera sequence type, or in the case of a mapping type, will follow semantics of 'if key in dict.keys()'
msgif msg is None, then the failure message will be '%r not in %r' % (first, second)
def assertIs(self, first, second, msg=None): (source)

def assertIsInstance(self, instance, classOrTuple, message=None): (source)

Fail if instance is not an instance of the given class or of one of the given classes.

Parameters
instance:any.the object to test the type (first argument of the isinstance call).
classOrTuple:class, type, or tuple.the class or classes to test against (second argument of the isinstance call).
messageCustom text to include in the exception text if the assertion fails.
def assertIsNot(self, first, second, msg=None): (source)

Fail the test if first is second. This is an obect-identity-equality test, not an object equality (i.e. __eq__) test.

Parameters
firstUndocumented
secondUndocumented
msgif msg is None, then the failure message will be '%r is %r' % (first, second)
def assertNoResult(self, deferred): (source)

Assert that deferred does not have a result at this point.

If the assertion succeeds, then the result of deferred is left unchanged. Otherwise, any failure.Failure result is swallowed.

Parameters
deferred:DeferredA Deferred without a result. This means that neither Deferred.callback nor Deferred.errback has been called, or that the Deferred is waiting on another Deferred for a result.
Raises
SynchronousTestCase.failureExceptionIf the Deferred has a result.
def assertNotAlmostEqual(self, first, second, places=7, msg=None, delta=None): (source)

Fail if the two objects are equal as determined by their difference rounded to the given number of decimal places (default 7) and comparing to zero.

Notes
decimal places (from zero) is usually not the same as significant digits (measured from the most significant digit).
included for compatibility with PyUnit test cases
def assertNotEqual(self, first, second, msg=None): (source)

Fail the test if first == second.

Parameters
firstUndocumented
secondUndocumented
msgif msg is None, then the failure message will be '%r == %r' % (first, second)
def assertNotIn(self, containee, container, msg=None): (source)

Fail the test if containee is found in container.

Parameters
containeethe value that should not be in container
containera sequence type, or in the case of a mapping type, will follow semantics of 'if key in dict.keys()'
msgif msg is None, then the failure message will be '%r in %r' % (first, second)
def assertNotIsInstance(self, instance, classOrTuple): (source)

Fail if instance is an instance of the given class or of one of the given classes.

classOrTuple:class, type, or tuple.the class or classes to test against (second argument of the isinstance call).
def assertNotSubstring(self, substring, astring, msg=None): (source)

Fail if astring contains substring.

def assertRaises(self, exception, f=None, *args, **kwargs): (source)

Fail the test unless calling the function f with the given args and kwargs raises exception. The failure will report the traceback and call stack of the unexpected exception.

Parameters
exceptionexception type that is to be expected
fthe function to call
*argsUndocumented
**kwargsUndocumented
Returns
If f is None, a context manager which will make an assertion about the exception raised from the suite it manages. If f is not None, the exception raised by f.
Raises
self.failureExceptionRaised if the function call does not raise an exception or if it raises an exception of a different type.
def assertSubstring(self, substring, astring, msg=None): (source)

Fail if substring does not exist within astring.

def assertTrue(self, condition, msg=None): (source)

Fail the test if condition evaluates to False.

Parameters
conditionany object that defines __nonzero__
msgUndocumented
def assertWarns(self, category, message, filename, f, *args, **kwargs): (source)

Fail if the given function doesn't generate the specified warning when called. It calls the function, checks the warning, and forwards the result of the function if everything is fine.

Parameters
categorythe category of the warning to check.
messagethe output message of the warning to check.
filenamethe filename where the warning should come from.
f:any callable.the function which is supposed to generate the warning.
*argsthe arguments to f.
**kwargsthe keywords arguments to f.
Returns
the result of the original function f.
def fail(self, msg=None): (source)

Absolutely fail the test. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Parameters
msg:Optional[object]the message that will be displayed as the reason for the failure
Returns
NoReturnUndocumented
def failureResultOf(self, deferred, *expectedExceptionTypes): (source)

Return the current failure result of deferred or raise self.failureException.

Parameters
deferred:DeferredA Deferred which has a failure result. This means Deferred.callback or Deferred.errback has been called on it and it has reached the end of its callback chain and the last callback or errback raised an exception or returned a failure.Failure.
*expectedExceptionTypesException types to expect - if provided, and the exception wrapped by the failure result is not one of the types provided, then this test will fail.
Returns
failure.FailureThe failure result of deferred.
Raises
SynchronousTestCase.failureExceptionIf the Deferred has no result, has a success result, or has an unexpected failure result.
def successResultOf(self, deferred): (source)

Return the current success result of deferred or raise self.failureException.

Parameters
deferred:Union[Coroutine[Deferred[T], Any, T], Generator[Deferred[T], Any, T], Deferred[T]]

A Deferred or coroutine which has a success result.

For a Deferred this means Deferred.callback or Deferred.errback has been called on it and it has reached the end of its callback chain and the last callback or errback returned a non-failure.Failure.

For a coroutine this means all awaited values have a success result.

Returns
TThe result of deferred.
Raises
SynchronousTestCase.failureExceptionIf the Deferred has no result or has a failure result.
