如何用 assertRaises() 捕获“TypeError”

Question

我想捕捉代码产生的 TypeError，但不幸的是，unittest 失败了：

代码如下：

import unittest                                                                 

class _Foo(object):                                                             
    def __init__(self):                                                         
        self.bar = ['AAA']                                                      

    def _validate_bar(self, bar):                                               
        if not isinstance(bar, list):                                           
            raise TypeError                                                     
        return True                                                             

class Foo(_Foo):                                                                
    def __init__(self, bar=None):                                               
        super(Foo, self).__init__()                                             
        if bar and self._validate_bar(bar):                                     
            self.bar = bar                                                      

class FooTest(unittest.TestCase):                                               

    def test_bar_as_string(self):                                               
        self.assertRaises("TypeError", Foo("a"))                                

    #def test_a(self):                                                          
    #    try:                                                                   
    #        Foo('a')                                                           
    #    except Exception as exc:                                               
    #        self.assertEqual('TypeError', exc.__class__.__name__)              

    #def test_bar_as_string(self):                                              
    #    with self.assertRaises("TypeError"):                                   
    #        Foo("a")                                                           

if __name__ == "__main__":                            

这是错误：

test_bar_as_string (__main__.FooTest) ... ERROR

    unittest.main(verbosity=2)   

Answer 1

取消引用TypeError，不要直接调用Foo，而是传递函数（Foo 类）和参数。

def test_bar_as_string(self):                                               
    self.assertRaises(TypeError, Foo, "a")

或者，您可以使用assertRaises 作为上下文管理器：

def test_bar_as_string(self):                                               
    with self.assertRaises(TypeError):
        Foo("a")                                

Answer 2

你可以这样做：

with self.assertRaises(TypeError):
    Foo("a")

或

self.assertRaises(TypeError, Foo, "a")
