Hello, when working on a test suite, no matter if writing new test cases from scratch or modifying an existing one, the need of temporarily excluding other tests and focus on that particular one is very common (at least for me). This is especially true when working on a test suite which contains a lot of tests producing a very verbose output result or which takes a lot to complete.
What I usually do in such cases is to scroll down until test_main() function, manually change support.run_unittest() ilke this:
- support.run_unittest(TestCase1, TestCase2, TestCase3, TestCase4) + support.run_unittest(TestCase4)
...and then comment out all the test cases in TestCase4 class except the one I'm interested in.
How about using a special TestDevelopment with only the test cases you are working on? Then comment out the standard run and uncomment the development run # support.run_unittest(TestCase1, TestCase2, TestCase3, TestCase4) support.run_unittest(TestDevel) When done, move tests to whichever regular TestCase they belong in. -- Terry Jan Reedy
