bpo-30822: Fix testing of datetime module. #2530

musically-ut · 2017-07-01T23:44:35Z

On master and in versions 3.6 and 3.5, there is a bug in how certain tests are executed differently for the C extension and python extension. The execution of the tests (in datetimetester.py) depends on the following condition (or the negation thereof):

if '_Fast' in str(self):
    # ...

The cls.__name__ is modified in the test_datetime.py to be:

    cls.__name__ = name + suffix   # suffix in ['_Fast', '_Pure']

However, str(self) to derives the class name from cls.__qualname__ and not cls.__name__. This meant that _Fast was never in str(self) and, hence, some of the tests were being unnecessarily skipped (notably test_name_cleanup, which was failing).

This PR fixes the problem by clearly setting a string value on the class (_test_type) and then conditioning tests based on that value. Also, instead of editing the __name__ of the class, the __qualname__ is edited so that the tests show the correct variant of the test being run in verbose mode, which helps reduce confusion [1].

Also, on master and in version 3.6, there was another bug which prevented all tests from running because of an accidental resetting of the global variable test_classes inside a loop. That is fixed in a separate commit.

#1493 depends on this PR.

Maybe just test '_Fast' not in self.__class__.__name__?

I'd rather have one property serve one purpose: __qualname__ to show correct class names in verbose mode (cosmetic) and _test_type for determining what kind of test it is (functional). This would, hopefully, prevent future cosmetic changes from interfering with the functional parts.

However, if you think "_Fast" in self.__class__.__qualname__ will minimize changes, I'll be happy to change it.

PS: I believe at some point in time, unittest used the cls.__name__ in verbose mode instead of cls.__qualname__. This would explain the change in the outputs which surprised @Haypo. It would be ideal if such cosmetic changes do not break other parts of the code.

In the past __qualname__ didn't exist. repr(self) contained class' __name__. After introducing __qualname__ that tests were not updated.

I think it would be better to modify both __name__ and __qualname__ (they should be consistent). _test_type is redundant since required information can be extracted from __name__.

Please replace return with self.skipTest(...). It is better if the skipped test reported as skipped rather than passed.

return is redundant. skipTest() doesn't return, it raises an exception.

Oh, I didn't realize that. Fixed.
