Hi folks,
I have the unittest that may run over some sequence, failing occasionally on some elements.

So, instead of writing

class MyTectClass(unittest.TestCase):    .....    def TestOverSequence(self):        for elem in sequence:             <run a bunch of asserts>

I would like to have something like

class MyTectClass(unittest.TestCase):    def __init__(self):        super().__init__()        self.sequence_iter = iter(sequence)    def TestOverElem(self):        elem = next(self.sequence_iter)        <run a bunch of asserts>

Is it doable, and if it is - how?

Thanks in advance

You know what they say about RT(F)M .

After getting a couple of good-intentioned - but misleading - answers on SO, I stumbled upon this useful API - unitteste.subTest()

class MyTectClass(unittest.TestCase): def _some_test(**kwargs): ....... def TestOverSequence(self): for elem in sequence: with self.subTest(elem=elem) self._some_test(elem=elem)

Problem solved!
