Stand-alone Assertions
Project Description
Stand-alone Assertions for Python
This package provides a few advantages over the assertions provided by unittest.TestCase:
- Can be used stand-alone, for example:
- In test cases, not derived from TestCase.
- In fake and mock classes.
- In implementations as rich alternative to the assert statement.
- PEP 8 compliance.
- Custom stand-alone assertions can be written easily.
- Arguably a better separation of concerns, since TestCase is responsible for test running only, if assertion functions are used exclusively.
There are a few regressions compared to assertions from TestCase:
- The default assertion class (AssertionError) can not be overwritten. This is rarely a problem in practice.
- asserts does not support the addTypeEqualityFunc() functionality.
Usage:
>>> from asserts import assert_true, assert_equal, assert_raises >>> my_var = 13 >>> assert_equal(13, my_var) >>> assert_true(True, msg="custom failure message") >>> with assert_raises(KeyError): ... raise KeyError()
Failure messages can be customized:
>>> assert_equal(13, 14, msg_fmt="{got} is wrong, expected {expected}") Traceback (most recent call last): ... AssertionError: 14 is wrong, expected 13
