[New-bugs-announce] [issue10619] Failed module loading in test discovery loses traceback

[Michael Foord]

New submission from Michael Foord <michael at voidspace.org.uk>:

If a test module fails to load during unittest test discovery (SyntaxError or other exception) then the error is reported during the test run.

Due to the way the exception is re-raised the traceback is lost.

Originally reported as unittest2 issue 29: https://code.google.com/p/unittest-ext/issues/detail?id=29
