Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
More often I need to check for exact error message and do not need regular expression.
For pure convenience, this would look like.
def assertRaisesString(self, exc, string, *args, **kwargs):
escaped = re.escape(string)
return self.assertRaisesRegex(exc, f'^{escaped}$', *args, **kwds)However, as using regular expression is overkill, could just add pure string case to _AssertRaisesBaseContext:
class _AssertRaisesBaseContext(_BaseTestCaseContext):
def __init__(self, expected, test_case, expected_string=None, regex=True):
...
class _AssertRaisesContext(_AssertRaisesBaseContext):
def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, tb):
expected_string = self.expected_string
exc_string = str(exc_value)
if self.regex:
# perform regex
else:
# compare stringsHas this already been discussed elsewhere?
This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
