unittest can not use function name 'test' ?

[ajikoe@gmail.com]

Hello

I found something strange in my unittest :
This code is ok (will report error ):

class MyTest1(unittes t.TestCase):

def runTest(self):
self.assertEqua l(2,3)
pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()


But if I add a function with the first name is 'test' it fails to
recognize the error:
class MyTest1(unittes t.TestCase):
def test1(self):
pass

def runTest(self):
self.assertEqua l(2,3)
pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()


Please help

the runTest() method is a fallback, and is only used if you don't have any
test*() methods in your test case. see e.g.
