softest 1.0.1.1

Supports lightweight soft assertions by extending the unittest.TestCase class

softest - Soft Assertions

Supports the soft assert style of testing,
where multiple assertions can fail within the same method,
while collecting and formatting those failures' stack traces
for reporting by a final assert_all call.

Such stack traces are enhanced
to include the call hierarchy
from within the test class.

Usage

import softest

class ExampleTest(softest.TestCase):
	def test_example(self):
		self.soft_assert(self.assertEqual, 'Worf', 'wharf', 'Klingon is not ship receptacle')
		self.soft_assert(self.assertTrue, True)
		self.soft_assert(self.assertTrue, False)

		self.assert_all()

if __name__ == '__main__':
	softest.main()
