Icecream produces strange output when used within doctest

[tschoenfelder]

Hello,

I tried to use ic within doctests (python 3.11.8) : import doctest from icecream import ic

def tester(): """

tester() """ a = ic(5*3) print(f"{a=}")

if name == 'main': doctest.testmod()

doctest will return

[38;5;247mic[39m[38;5;245m|[39m[38;5;245m [39m[38;5;36m5[39m[38;5;245m*[39m[38;5;36m3[39m[38;5;245m:[39m[38;5;245m [39m[38;5;36m15[39m

---

File "C:/Users/U070420/Downloads/ictest.py", line 6, in main.tester Failed example: tester() Expected nothing Got: a=15

---

1 items had failures: 1 of 1 in main.tester Test Failed 1 failures.

where the print works as expected, but icecream produces strange output.

Any way around this?

Thank you!

Best regards, Torsten

Which version of icecream were you using?

I have reformatted the code you have provided so that it can be easily copied:

from icecream import ic

def tester():
    """
    >>> tester()
    >>> a = ic(5*3)
    >>> print(f"{a=}")
    """

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import doctest
    doctest.testmod()

I tested the above code with icecream 2.1.3 in python 3.11.8 and got the expected output:

ic| 5*3: 15

@rodigu : Sorry for the late reply, I seemingly missed the notification by git. Thanks for taking a look. I rechecked. I used it from the IDLE. If I run it from the command line (or started from CICD), I get the same result like you. Seems to be an issue with the IC and IDLE ...

We are able to close the tracker.

Best regards
