About

xfail isn't just for pytest tests. Python's unittest has @unittest.expectedFailure. In this episode, we cover: - using @unittest.expectedFailure - the results of passing and failing tests with expectedFailure - using pytest as a test runner for unittest - using pytest markers on unittest tests Docs for expectedFailure: https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#skipping-tests-and-expected-failures Some sample code. unittest only: ```python import unittest class ExpectedFailureTestCase(unittest.TestCase): @unittest.expectedFailure def test_fail(self): self.assertEqual(1, 0, "broken") @unittest.expectedFailure def test_pass(self): self.assertEqual(1, 1, "not broken") ``` unittest with pytest markers: ```python import unittest import pytest class ExpectedFailureTestCase(unittest.TestCase): @pytest.mark.xfail def test_fail(self): self.assertEqual(1, 0, "broken") @pytest.mark.xfail def test_pass(self): self.assertEqual(1, 1, "not broken") ```
