unitests don't run under pdb

[Amit Gupta]

Hi

I have a unitest file: If I do

python testname.py : the unitests runs as usual and I get the
following results:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 2 tests in 0.024s

OK
--------------------------------------------------------------------

However, if I do "python -m pdb testnames.py": I get
ython -m pdb testnames.py

/s/nd6/amit/pyiglu/testnames.py(1)<module>()

-> import unittest
(Pdb) c

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 0 tests in 0.000s

OK
-------------------------------------------------------------------



Anything else, I should be doing (python version 2.5.1)


Thanks!!

IIRC unittest checks the __main__ module for tests to run. Once you
run python with "-m pdb" the __main__ module is pdb and not your
script.

HTH,

Ok, Sorry for late reply on this.

So What do I do, if my testcase if failing because of an uncaught
exception and I want to run it in pdb.

Thanks

Run your script with python -i testname.py
If an exception occur, you'll get the Python prompt. Execute:
py> import pdb
py> pdb.pm()
to enter pdb "post-mortem".

Oh, sorry, my last message doesn't apply because the unittest framework
caughts the exception.
Looks like you have to override TestResult.addError and call pdb.pm()
there.
