t.t.r.ErrorHolder(TestHolder) : class documentation

Part of twisted.trial.runner View Source View In Hierarchy

Used to insert arbitrary errors into a test suite run. Provides enough methods to look like a TestCase, however, when it is run, it simply adds an error to the TestResult. The most common use-case is for when a module fails to import.

Method	__init__
Method	__repr__	Undocumented
Method	run	Run the test, reporting the error.
Method	visit	See `unittest.TestCase.visit`.

Inherited from TestHolder:

Method	__call__	Run the test. Should always do exactly the same thing as run().
Method	id	Return a unique identifier for the test, usually the fully-qualified Python name.
Method	countTestCases	Return the number of tests in this test case. Usually 1.
Method	shortDescription	Return a short description of the test.

def __init__(self, description, error): (source)

overrides twisted.trial.runner.TestHolder.__init__

Parameters	description	A string used by `TestResult`s to identify this error. Generally, this is the name of a module that failed to import.
	error	The error to be added to the result. Can be an `exc_info` tuple or a `twisted.python.failure.Failure`.

def __repr__(self): (source)

from twisted.trial.itrial.ITestCase
