[Python-Dev] unittest.TestResult lacks API to separate subtests

[Ilya Kazakevich]

Hello,

 

We're developing Python IDE and integrated it with unittest module using
TestResult
<https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestResult>
inheritor to track test start, end etc. With Py3K, it supports addSubTest
method, that is called after all subtests. But there is no method called
before and after _each_ subtest (like it is done for regular tests). With
out of it I can't fetch each subtest output and display it correctly.

 

I suggest to add subTestStart / subTestEnd  methods to help me with my issue
and other people with similar issues. I can send patch if you think this is
a good idea.
