New submission from Thomas Guettler: The first message of the longMessage docs is confusing: https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestCase.longMessag...
If set to True then ....
This reads between the lines, that the default is False. But that was long ago in Python2. In Python3 the default is True (which I prefer to the old default). I think the docs should be like. And the term "normal message" is not defined. For new comers the "normal message" is what I get if you don't change the default, not the behaviour of the Python2 version :-) I think "normal message" should be replaced with "short message" or "diff message" .. I am unsure. What do you think? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 264359 nosy: docs@python, guettli priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: unittest longMessage docs versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26869> _______________________________________
