Issue 8301: Putting a function in a unittest.TestSuite doesn't work (original) (raw)

Putting functions (rather than TestCase instances) directly in TestSuites was never officially supported but it used to work:

from unittest import TestSuite, TestResult def f(): pass ... s = TestSuite() s.addTest(f) s.run(TestResult()) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/compile/python-trunk/Lib/unittest/suite.py", line 85, in run self._wrapped_run(result) File "/compile/python-trunk/Lib/unittest/suite.py", line 100, in _wrapped_run self._handleClassSetUp(test, result) File "/compile/python-trunk/Lib/unittest/suite.py", line 122, in _handleClassSetUp currentClass._classSetupFailed = False TypeError: can't set attributes of built-in/extension type 'function'
