[New-bugs-announce] [issue39101] IsolatedAsyncioTestCase freezes when exception is raised

[Fabio Pugliese Ornellas]

New submission from Fabio Pugliese Ornellas <fabio.ornellas at gmail.com>:

IsolatedAsyncioTestCase freezes whenever an exception that inherits from BaseException is raised:


import unittest
class TestHangsForever(unittest.IsolatedAsyncioTestCase):
    async def test_hangs_forever(self):
        raise BaseException("Hangs forever")
if __name__ == "__main__":
    import unittest
    unittest.main()

A kind of similar issue present on 3.7 was fixed on 3.8 here https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.8/Lib/asyncio/events.py#L84, where BaseExceptions would not be correctly handled by the event loop, this seems somewhat related.

I had a look at IsolatedAsyncioTestCase implementation, did not spot any obvious broken thing there, I could use some light here. Thanks.
