assertEllipsis

An assertion which is very helpful when using Testbrowser with unittest.TestCase (instead of doctests).

Some examples:

class MyTest(unittest.TestCase, gocept.testing.assertion.Ellipsis):
# [...]


self.assertEllipsis('...bar...', 'foo bar qux')
# -> nothing happens

self.assertEllipsis('foo', 'bar')
# -> AssertionError: Differences (ndiff with -expected +actual):
     - foo
     + bar

self.assertNotEllipsis('foo', 'foo')
# -> AssertionError: "Value unexpectedly matches expression 'foo'."

To use, inherit from gocept.testing.assertion.Ellipsis in addition to unittest.TestCase.

assertNothingRaised

The opposite of assertRaises(), this is an assertion that makes some tests more readable. As assertRaises(), it can be used as as context manager, too:

class MyTest(unittest.TestCase, gocept.testing.assertion.Exceptions):
# [...]

self.assertNothingRaised(do_something, 1, 2, 3)

with self.assertNothingRaised():
    do_something(1, 2, 3)
