如何编写只有在函数没有抛出预期异常时才会失败的单元测试呢?


当前回答

使用TestCase。从unittest模块中assertRaises(或testcase . failunlessraised),例如:

import mymod

class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def test1(self):
        self.assertRaises(SomeCoolException, mymod.myfunc)

其他回答

你可以使用unittest模块中的assertRaises:

import unittest

class TestClass():
  def raises_exception(self):
    raise Exception("test")

class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
  def test_if_method_raises_correct_exception(self):
    test_class = TestClass()
    # Note that you don’t use () when passing the method to assertRaises
    self.assertRaises(Exception, test_class.raises_exception)

如果在这个类中将stock_id设置为Integer将抛出错误,则将引发TypeError,如果发生这种情况,则测试将通过,否则将失败

def set_string(prop, value):
   if not isinstance(value, str):
      raise TypeError("i told you i take strings only ")
   return value

class BuyVolume(ndb.Model):
    stock_id = ndb.StringProperty(validator=set_string)

from pytest import raises
buy_volume_instance: BuyVolume = BuyVolume()
with raises(TypeError):
  buy_volume_instance.stock_id = 25

你的代码应该遵循这个模式(这是一个unittest模块风格测试):

def test_afunction_throws_exception(self):
    try:
        afunction()
    except ExpectedException:
        pass
    except Exception:
       self.fail('unexpected exception raised')
    else:
       self.fail('ExpectedException not raised')

在Python < 2.7中,此构造用于检查预期异常中的特定值。unittest函数assertRaises只检查是否引发了异常。

虽然所有的答案都很好,但我正在寻找一种方法来测试一个函数是否引发了异常,而不依赖于单元测试框架,也不必编写测试类。

最后我写下了以下内容:

def assert_error(e, x):
    try:
        e(x)
    except:
        return
    raise AssertionError()

def failing_function(x):
    raise ValueError()

def dummy_function(x):
    return x

if __name__=="__main__":
    assert_error(failing_function, 0)
    assert_error(dummy_function, 0)

它在右边行上失败了:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "assert_error.py", line 16, in <module>
    assert_error(dummy_function, 0)
  File "assert_error.py", line 6, in assert_error
    raise AssertionError()
AssertionError

从http://www.lengrand.fr/2011/12/pythonunittest-assertraises-raises-error/:

首先,这里是dum_function.py文件中对应的(仍然是dum:p)函数:

def square_value(a):
   """
   Returns the square value of a.
   """
   try:
       out = a*a
   except TypeError:
       raise TypeError("Input should be a string:")

   return out

下面是要执行的测试(只插入这个测试):

import dum_function as df # Import function module
import unittest
class Test(unittest.TestCase):
   """
      The class inherits from unittest
      """
   def setUp(self):
       """
       This method is called before each test
       """
       self.false_int = "A"

   def tearDown(self):
       """
       This method is called after each test
       """
       pass
      #---
         ## TESTS
   def test_square_value(self):
       # assertRaises(excClass, callableObj) prototype
       self.assertRaises(TypeError, df.square_value(self.false_int))

   if __name__ == "__main__":
       unittest.main()

现在我们准备好测试我们的函数了!下面是运行测试时发生的情况:

======================================================================
ERROR: test_square_value (__main__.Test)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_dum_function.py", line 22, in test_square_value
    self.assertRaises(TypeError, df.square_value(self.false_int))
  File "/home/jlengrand/Desktop/function.py", line 8, in square_value
    raise TypeError("Input should be a string:")
TypeError: Input should be a string:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 0.000s

FAILED (errors=1)

TypeError实际上被引发,并生成一个测试失败。问题是,这正是我们想要的行为:s。

要避免此错误,只需在测试调用中使用lambda运行函数:

self.assertRaises(TypeError, lambda: df.square_value(self.false_int))

最终输出:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 0.000s

OK

完美!

... 对我来说也是完美的!!

非常感谢,Julien Lengrand-Lambert先生。


这个测试断言实际上返回一个假阳性。这是因为'assertRaises'中的lambda是引发类型错误的单元,而不是被测试的函数。
