Mapping exceptions to test outcomes
Map exceptions to test outcomes.
This plugin implements setTestOutcome()
to enable simple mapping
of exception classes to existing test outcomes.
By setting a list of exception classes in a nose2 config file, you can configure exceptions that would otherwise be treated as test errors, to be treated as failures or skips instead:
[outcomes]
always-on = True
treat-as-fail = NotImplementedError
treat-as-skip = TodoError
IOError
Enable this Plugin
This plugin is built-in, but not loaded by default.
Even if you specify always-on = True
in the configuration, it will not run unless you also enable it. You can do so by putting the following in a unittest.cfg
or nose2.cfg
file
[unittest]
plugins = nose2.plugins.outcomes
The plugins
parameter may contain a list of plugin names, including nose2.plugins.outcomes
