                                 ExceptionTest

Check that the specified Python code raises an exception.

An 'ExceptionTest' checks that the specified Python code raises a particular exception. The test passes if the exception is an instance of the expected class and (optionally) if its value matches the expected value. If the code fails to raise an exception, the test fails.

Method Details

MakeResult(self, exc_info, result)

source code

Check the exception in 'exc_info' and construct the result.

'result' -- The result object for this test.

Overrides: BaseExceptionTest.MakeResult: (inherited documentation)

CheckArgument(self, exc_info, result)

source code

Check that the exception argument matches expectations.

'result' -- The result object for this test.

Overrides: BaseExceptionTest.CheckArgument

Class Variable Details

arguments

A list of the arguments to the extension class.

Each element of this list should be an instance of 'Field'. The 'Field' instance describes the argument.

Derived classes may redefine this class variable. However, derived classes should not explicitly include the arguments from base classes; QMTest will automatically combine all the arguments found throughout the class hierarchy.

Value:

[qm.fields.TextField(name= "exception_class", title= "Exception Class"
, description= """The expected type of the exception.

            This value is the name of a Python class.  If the
            exception raised is not an instance of this class, the
            test fails.""", default_value= "Exception")]
