Unit Test not running

python, unit-testing

Solution

By default, only functions whose name that start with `test` are run:

class Prueba(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        pass
    def testPrintsTrue(self):
        self.assertTrue(True)

From the unittest basic example:

A testcase is created by subclassing `unittest.TestCase`. The three individual tests are defined with methods whose names start with the letters `test`. This naming convention informs the test runner about which methods represent tests.

Problem

I'm getting stuck with some unittests. Here's the simplest example I could come up with: ``` #testito.py import unittest class Prueba(unittest.TestCase): def setUp(self): pass def printsTrue(self): self.assertTrue(True) if __name__=="__main__": unittest.main() ``` Problem is, running this has no effect: ``` $ python testito.py ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 0 tests in 0.000s OK ``` I'm scratching my head as I don't see any problem with the code above. It happened with a couple of tests now and I don't really know what to do next. Any idea?
