Root Cause

A subTest failure is not being properly reported because the subTest block doesn't raise an assertion error correctly.

generic

中文

子测试失败未被正确报告，因为 subTest 块没有正确引发断言错误。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    for i in range(5):
    with self.subTest(i=i):
        self.assertEqual(i, 0)
  2. 90% success 
    @pytest.mark.parametrize('i', range(5))
def test_foo(i):
    assert i == 0

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    This loses granularity of test reporting.

  2. 80% fail

    This may swallow the exception and not mark the test as failed.
