Question

I know about unittest Python module.

I know about assertRaises() method of TestCase class.

I would like to write a test that succeeds when an exception is not raised.

Any hints please?

Answer 1

The test runner will catch all exceptions you didn’t assert would be raised. Thus:

doStuff() self.assert_(True) 

This should work fine. You can leave out the self.assert_ call, since it doesn’t really do anything. I like to put it there to document that I didn’t forget an assertion.
