[py-dev] Bug with py.test when object repr contains "\n"

[Pierre Barbier de Reuille]

Here an example :


class Foo( object ):
    def __init__( self, a,b ):
        self.a = a
        self.b = b

    def __repr__( self ):
        return "Toto(%d,\n%d)" %( self.a, self.b )

    def __len__( self ):
        return 2

def test_foo():
    bar = Foo( 3,4 )
    assert len( bar ) == 3


If you try to put that in a file a run py.test, it will fail in the
nice_explanation function. This can be annoying :(

I did not see any former reports about that !
