I have run into an issue with py.test which make it pretty much unsable with
the following scenario:
- a test module import another module
- the import fails due to an exception thrown by the other module
This scenario raise two bugs (hopefully this is the scenario to reproduce
this bug):
- Py.test produces a stack trace with a full source dump of the imported
module source
- Information about the exception that caused the failure is missing.
The source does not end line 2269, so my guess is that py.test dump the
source until the source line where the exception was raised.
I believe py.test should truncate the source to show only the relevant part,
that is ignore the 2000 lines until the global variable declaration
SCHEMA_SCHEMA in this case.
To illustrate the issue, I've put excerpt from both the standard python
stacktrace and the py.test failure below:
