Question

Suppose I have a unittest like this

class TestABC(unittest.TestCase):
  def setUp(self):
    ....

  def test001_abc(self):
    ....

  def test002_abc(self):
    ....

  def test003_bac(self):
    ....
    self.test001_abc()

But the output shows Run 3 tests in 10.962s. I believe that the last self.test001_bac() had been ran, but can we indicate this in the test count?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The last “test” was run as part of test_003_bac, so unittest does not see it as a separate test. I’m not sure what you’re trying to achieve with this, but running one test inside another is not a good idea. nose supports the concept of Test Generators, which might do what you want.
