Pytest does not show addClassCleanup errors

[LukasJerabek]

• [x] a detailed description of the bug or problem you are having Below in minimal example is a code that if I run with python, I get

Running test one

======================================================================
ERROR: tearDownClass (__main__.SomeTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tst.py", line 11, in clean_up_class
    raise AttributeError
AttributeError

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 0.001s

FAILED (errors=1)

which is fine, but if I run it with pytest I get:

Without any sign of that an error has happend. Therefore it fail silently without anyone knowing something wrong happend.

Expected: Pytest shows error as well.

@bluetech hi, may I ask how is this going? I think it is rather inconvenient not being able to see certain errors.

This workaround can be dropped in a plugin module or conftest.py

import pytest


@pytest.hookimpl
def pytest_configure():
    patch_unittest_TestCase_doClassCleanup()


def patch_unittest_TestCase_doClassCleanup():
    """Raise/print errors caught during class cleanup

    pytest ignores `TestCase.tearDown_exceptions`, which causes them to
    pass silently.
    """

    @classmethod
    def doClassCleanupAndRaiseLastError(cls):
        doClassCleanups()
        errors = cls.tearDown_exceptions
        if errors:
            if len(errors) > 1:
                num = len(errors)
                for n, (exc_type, exc, tb) in enumerate(errors[:-1], start=1):
                    print(f"\nclass cleanup error ({n} of {num}):", file=sys.stderr)
                    print_exception(exc_type, exc, tb)
            raise errors[-1][1]
