我之前回答中的代码可以简化为:

def test_afunction_throws_exception(self):
    self.assertRaises(ExpectedException, afunction)

如果一个函数有参数，就像这样把它们传递给assertRaises:

def test_afunction_throws_exception(self):
    self.assertRaises(ExpectedException, afunction, arg1, arg2)

对于await/async aiounittest有一个稍微不同的模式:

https://aiounittest.readthedocs.io/en/latest/asynctestcase.html#aiounittest.AsyncTestCase

async def test_await_async_fail(self):
    with self.assertRaises(Exception) as e:
        await async_one()

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。

从Python 2.7开始，你可以使用上下文管理器来获取实际抛出的Exception对象:

import unittest

def broken_function():
    raise Exception('This is broken')

class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def test(self):
        with self.assertRaises(Exception) as context:
            broken_function()

        self.assertTrue('This is broken' in context.exception)

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

断言

在Python 3.5中，必须对上下文进行包装。否则你会得到一个TypeError

self.assertTrue('This is broken' in str(context.exception))

我刚刚发现Mock库提供了一个assertRaisesWithMessage()方法(在其unittest中)。TestCase子类)，它不仅会检查是否引发了预期的异常，还会检查它是否与预期的消息一起引发:

from testcase import TestCase

import mymod

class MyTestCase(TestCase):
    def test1(self):
        self.assertRaisesWithMessage(SomeCoolException,
                                     'expected message',
                                     mymod.myfunc)

如果你正在使用Python 3，为了断言异常及其消息，你可以在上下文管理器中使用assertRaises，并将消息作为msg关键字参数传递，如下所示:

import unittest

def your_function():
    raise RuntimeError('your exception message')

class YourTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def test(self):
        with self.assertRaises(RuntimeError, msg='your exception message'):
            your_function()


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