python unittest setup,在setUp方法中报告Python unittest中的错误的正确方法是什么？

我已经阅读了一些关于在

Python单元测试的setUp方法中使用assert的相互矛盾的建议.如果测试依赖的前提条件失败,我无法看到测试失败的危害.

例如：

import unittest

class MyProcessor():

"""

This is the class under test

"""

def __init__(self):

pass

def ProcessData(self, content):

return ['some','processed','data','from','content'] # Imagine this could actually pass

class Test_test2(unittest.TestCase):

def LoadContentFromTestFile(self):

return None # Imagine this is actually doing something that could pass.

def setUp(self):

self.content = self.LoadContentFromTestFile()

self.assertIsNotNone(self.content, "Failed to load test data")

self.processor = MyProcessor()

def test_ProcessData(self):

results = self.processor.ProcessData(self.content)

self.assertGreater(results, 0, "No results returned")

if __name__ == '__main__':

unittest.main()

这对我来说似乎是合理的事情,即确保测试能够运行.当由于设置条件而失败时,我们得到：

F

======================================================================
