Can you check that an exception is thrown with doctest in Python?

python doctest

Yes. You can do it. The doctest module documentation and Wikipedia has an example of it.

   >>> x   Traceback (most recent call last):     ...   NameError: name 'x' is not defined

python doctest

>>> scope # doctest: +IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAILTraceback (most recent call last):NameError: name 'scope' is not defined

Don't know why the previous answers don't have the IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL. I need this for it to work. Py versioin: 3.7.3.

python doctest

>>> import math>>> math.log(-2)Traceback (most recent call last): ...ValueError: math domain error

ellipsis flag # doctest: +ELLIPSIS is not required to use ... in Traceback doctest
