2.8.4

Improvements

• Clear force_failure in _reset() so that re-running a test after an expectThat failure can succeed if successful conditions are met again. (OumarCamara, #563)
• Make extract_result() and DeferredNotFired public APIs in testtools.twistedsupport. These utilities are useful for extracting results from synchronous Deferreds in tests. (Jelmer Vernooij, #546)
• Add support for unittest.TestCase.subTest. Failures are reported individually while the entire test method is still treated as a single test. (Stephen Finucane, #567)
• Add testtools.matchers.test module providing a test harness for users who write their own custom matchers. (Stephen Finucane)

Changes

• Re-add compat helpers and helper modules that were accidentally removed in a patch release, breaking API compatibility. These are now deprecated and will be removed in a future major release. (Stephen Finucane, #566)
• typing-extensions is no longer required at runtime; it is only needed for type checking. (Jelmer Vernooij, Takashi Kajinami, #569, #571)

2.8.3

Changes

• Add \'Typing :: Typed\' classifier to package metadata. (Jelmer Vernooij)

Improvements

• Add comprehensive type annotations to assertions, compat, run, and other modules. (Jelmer Vernooij, Stephen Finucane)
• Support async setUp/tearDown validation with Deferreds. (Jelmer Vernooij)

2.8.2

Changes

Fully migrate away from Launchpad to GitHub.

Improvements

• Support binary contents in FileContains matcher. (Jelmer Vernooij, #538)

* Allow stream=None to be passed to various TestResult

2.8.1

Improvements

• Add Nearly matcher for approximate numerical comparisons. (Jelmer Vernooij, #222)
• Improve handling of sets in assertEquals. (Jelmer Vernooij, #108)

Changes

• Re-add accidentally removed methods on StreamToExtendedDecorator. (Jelmer Vernooij)
• Add typing. (Jelmer Vernooij, Stephen Finucane)

2.8.0

• Drop support for Python 3.8. (Stephen Finucane)
• Drop support for Python 3.9. (Jelmer Vernooij)
• Add support for Python 3.13 and 3.14. (Jelmer Vernooij)

Improvements

• Implemented verbosity support for the test runner. The -v (--verbose) flag is now functional and properly controls output verbosity. Verbosity levels: 0 (quiet), 1 (dots, default), 2 (test names). This applies to both normal test runs and discovery mode. (LP: #872906)
• Add support for Python 3.12\'s addDuration method and collectedDurations attribute in TestResult classes. (Jelmer Vernooij, #2045171)
• Remove a number of deprecated classes and methods. (Stephen Finucane)
• testtools.matchers
  • AfterPreproccessing (use AfterPreprocessing)
• testtools.testcase
  • TestSkipped (use unittest.SkipTest)
  • TestCase.skip (use TestCase.skipTest)
  • TestCase.failUnlessEqual (use TestCase.assertEqual)
  • TestCase.assertEquals (use TestCase.assertEqual)
  • TestCase.failUnlessRaises (use TestCase.assertRaises)
  • TestCase.assertItemsEqual (use TestCase.assertCountEqual)
• testtools.testresult.real
  • domap (no replacement)
• testtools.twistedsupport._runtest
  • run_with_log_observers (no replacement)
