Thanks for your help in advance.
I've got the following class method that I'm trying to test:
def _get_ldap_connection(self):
"""
Instantiate and return simpleldap.Connection object.
Raises:
ldap.SERVER_DOWN: When ldap_url is invalid or server is
not reachable.
"""
try:
ldap_connection = simpleldap.Connection(
self.ldap_url, encryption='ssl', require_cert=False,
debug=False, dn=self.ldap_login_dn,
password=self.ldap_login_password)
except ldap.SERVER_DOWN:
raise ldap.SERVER_DOWN(
"The LDAP server specified, {}, did not respond to the "
"connection attempt.".format(self.ldap_url))
And here's the unittest:
def test__get_ldap_connection(self):
"""
VERY IMPORTANT: This test refers to your actual config.json file.
If it is correctly populated, you can expect this test to fail.
"""
# Instantiate Class
test_extractor = SakaiLdapExtractor('config_files/config.json')
# Monkey with ldap server url to ensure error.
test_extractor.ldap_url = "invalid_ldap_url"
self.assertRaises(
ldap.SERVER_DOWN, test_extractor._get_ldap_connection())
So far, so good. But when I execute the unit tests (via nose) test_extractor._get_ldap_connection()
is called from the assertRaises statement, but the exception is not caught and the test fails.
Here is the output:
vagrant@precise64:/vagrant/sakai-directory-integration$ nosetests
...E..
