Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.2

Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 7 Submitted By: Tim Peters (tim_one) Assigned to: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Summary: test_support's run_suite() is broken

Initial Comment: When test_support.run_suite() runs a failing test, in one of the failure branches it can reference vrbl "testclass" twice. But testclass is an argument to run_unittest(), and has no value in run_suite().
So run_suite() dies with a NameError, instead of raising TestFailed.

Assigned to Fred, because I vaguely believe he made the change so has a good chance of guessing what he intended to do instead .

Sorry, run_suite() wasn't mine, though I've used it. Fixed in Lib/test/test_support.py revision 1.39.
