New submission from Johannes Ammon :
When there is a non-ASCII character in the docstring of a test function,
unittest triggers an UnicodeEncodeError when called with "--verbose".
I have this file unicodetest.py:
-
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import unittest
class UnicodeTest(unittest.TestCase):
def test_unicode_docstring(self):
u"""täst - docstring with unicode character"""
self.assertEqual(1+1, 2)
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
-
Running it normally is ok:
$ python unicodetest.py
.
--
Ran 1 test in 0.000s
OK
But with "--verbose" it breaks:
$ python unicodetest.py --verbose
