Inherited from SynchronousTestCase:
| Instance Variable | failureException | An exception class, defaulting to FailTest. If the test method
raises this exception, it will be reported as a failure, rather than an 
exception. All of the assertion methods raise this if the assertion fails. | 
| Instance Variable | skip | Noneor a string explaining why this test is to be skipped. If defined, the test
will not be run. Instead, it will be reported to the result object as 
'skipped' (if theTestResultsupports skipping). | 
| Instance Variable | todo | None,
a string or a tuple of(errors, reason)whereerrorsis either an exception class or an iterable of 
exception classes, andreasonis a string. SeeTodoormakeTodofor 
more information. | 
| Instance Variable | suppress | Noneor a list of tuples of(args, kwargs)to be passed towarnings.filterwarnings. Use these to suppress warnings raised
in a test. Useful for testing deprecated code. See alsoutil.suppress. |

| Method | addCleanup | Add the given function to a list of functions to be called after the 
test has run, but before tearDown. | 
| Method | patch | Monkey patch an object for the duration of the test. | 
| Method | flushLoggedErrors | Remove stored errors received from the log. | 
| Method | flushWarnings | Remove stored warnings from the list of captured warnings and return them. | 
| Method | callDeprecated | Call a function that should have been deprecated at a specific version and in favor of a specific alternative, and assert that it was thusly deprecated. | 
| Method | mktemp | Create a new path name which can be used for a new file or directory. |

| Method | _installObserver | Undocumented | 
| Method | _removeObserver | Undocumented | 
Inherited from _Assertions (via SynchronousTestCase):
| Method | fail | Absolutely fail the test. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. | 
| Method | assertFalse | Fail the test if conditionevaluates to True. | 
| Method | assertTrue | Fail the test if conditionevaluates to False. | 
| Method | assertRaises | Fail the test unless calling the function fwith the givenargsandkwargsraisesexception. 
The failure will report the traceback and call stack of the unexpected 
exception. | 
| Method | assertEqual | Fail the test if firstandsecondare not 
equal. | 
| Method | assertIs | Fail the test if firstis notsecond.  This is
an obect-identity-equality test, not an object equality (i.e.__eq__) test. | 
| Method | assertIsNot | Fail the test if firstissecond.  This is an 
obect-identity-equality test, not an object equality (i.e.__eq__) test. | 
| Method | assertNotEqual | Fail the test if first==second. | 
| Method | assertIn | Fail the test if containeeis not found incontainer. | 
| Method | assertNotIn | Fail the test if containeeis found incontainer. | 
| Method | assertNotAlmostEqual | Fail if the two objects are equal as determined by their difference rounded to the given number of decimal places (default 7) and comparing to zero. | 
| Method | assertAlmostEqual | Fail if the two objects are unequal as determined by their difference rounded to the given number of decimal places (default 7) and comparing to zero. | 
| Method | assertApproximates | Fail if first-second>tolerance | 
| Method | assertSubstring | Fail if substringdoes not exist withinastring. | 
| Method | assertNotSubstring | Fail if astringcontainssubstring. | 
| Method | assertWarns | Fail if the given function doesn't generate the specified warning when called. It calls the function, checks the warning, and forwards the result of the function if everything is fine. | 
| Method | assertIsInstance | Fail if instanceis not an instance of the given class or 
of one of the given classes. | 
| Method | assertNotIsInstance | Fail if instanceis an instance of the given class or of 
one of the given classes. | 
| Method | successResultOf | Return the current success result of deferredor raiseself.failureException. | 
| Method | failureResultOf | Return the current failure result of deferredor raiseself.failureException. | 
| Method | assertNoResult | Assert that deferreddoes not have a result at this 
point. | 
| Method | assertRegex | Fail the test if a regexpsearch oftextfails. | 
If the wrapped Exception is not a subclass of one of the 
expected types, failure.Failure.trap
raises the wrapped Exception.
If the wrapped Exception is not a subclass of one of the 
expected types, failure.Failure.trap
raises itself.
A failure.Failure
constructed from another failure.Failure
instance, has its value property set to the value of that failure.Failure
instance.
A failure.Failure
constructed without a exc_value argument, will search for an 
"original" Failure, and if found, its value will be 
used as the value for the new Failure.
Assert that s starts with a particular 
prefix.
| Parameters | s | The input string. (type: str) | 
| prefix | The string that sshould start with. (type:str) | 
Assert that s end with a particular 
suffix.
| Parameters | s | The input string. (type: str) | 
| suffix | The string that sshould end with. (type:str) | 
Assert that the tb traceback contains a particular 
prefix and suffix.
| Parameters | tb | The traceback string. (type: str) | 
| prefix | The string that tbshould start with. (type:str) | |
| suffix | The string that tbshould end with. (type:str) | 
Assert that printDetailedTraceback produces and prints a 
detailed traceback.
The detailed traceback consists of a header:
*--- Failure #20 ---
The body contains the stacktrace:
/twisted/trial/_synctest.py:1180: _run(...) /twisted/python/util.py:1076: runWithWarningsSuppressed(...) --- <exception caught here> --- /twisted/test/test_failure.py:39: getDivisionFailure(...)
If captureVars is enabled the body also includes a list of 
globals and locals:
  [ Locals ]
    exampleLocalVar : 'xyz'
    ...
  ( Globals )
    ...
Or when captureVars is disabled:
[Capture of Locals and Globals disabled (use captureVars=True)]
When cleanFailure is enabled references to other objects 
are removed and replaced with strings.
And finally the footer with the Failure's 
value:
exceptions.ZeroDivisionError: float division *--- End of Failure #20 ---
| Parameters | captureVars | Enables Failure.captureVars. (type:bool) | 
| cleanFailure | Enables Failure.cleanFailure. (type:bool) | 
Assert that printBriefTraceback produces and prints a brief
traceback.
The brief traceback consists of a header:
Traceback: <type 'exceptions.ZeroDivisionError'>: float division
The body with the stacktrace:
/twisted/trial/_synctest.py:1180:_run /twisted/python/util.py:1076:runWithWarningsSuppressed
And the footer:
--- <exception caught here> --- /twisted/test/test_failure.py:39:getDivisionFailure
| Parameters | captureVars | Enables Failure.captureVars. (type:bool) | 
Assert that printTraceback produces and prints a default 
traceback.
The default traceback consists of a header:
Traceback (most recent call last):
The body with traceback:
 File "/twisted/trial/_synctest.py", line 1180, in _run
    runWithWarningsSuppressed(suppress, method)
And the footer:
 --- <exception caught here> ---
   File "twisted/test/test_failure.py", line 39, in getDivisionFailure
     1/0
   exceptions.ZeroDivisionError: float division
| Parameters | captureVars | Enables Failure.captureVars. (type:bool) | 
printDetailedTraceback returns a detailed traceback 
including the Failure's 
count.
printDetailedTraceback captures the locals and globals for 
its stack frames and adds them to the traceback, when called on a Failure 
constructed with captureVars=True.
printBriefTraceback returns a brief traceback when called 
on a Failure
constructed with captureVars=True.
Local variables on the stack can not be seen in the resulting traceback.
printTraceback returns a traceback when called on a Failure 
constructed with captureVars=True.
Local variables on the stack can not be seen in the resulting traceback.
printDetailedTraceback includes information about local 
variables on the stack after cleanFailure has been called.
failure.format_frames
raises a ValueError
if the supplied detail level is unknown.
Constructing a Failure with a string as its exception value
raises a TypeError, as this is no longer supported as of 
Python 2.6.
Creating a Failure with no arguments causes it to try to discover the current interpreter exception state. If no such state exists, creating the Failure should raise a synchronous exception.
If the Failure has not been cleaned, then 
getTracebackObject returns the traceback object that captured 
in its constructor.
captureVars=True has no effect on the result of 
getTracebackObject.
If the Failure has been cleaned, then getTracebackObject 
returns an object that looks the same to traceback.extract_tb.
If the Failure was created with captureVars, then 
getTracebackObject returns an object that looks the same to traceback.extract_tb.
failure.Failures
need not be constructed with traceback objects. If a Failure 
has no traceback information at all, getTracebackObject just 
returns None.
None is a good value, because traceback.extract_tb(None) -> [].
If a failure.Failure
is constructed with an exception but no traceback in Python 3, the 
traceback will be extracted from the exception's __traceback__
attribute.
failure.Failure.cleanFailure
sets the __traceback__ attribute of the exception to None
in Python 3.
The repr of a failure.Failure
shows the type and string representation of the underlying exception.
