[Plone-developers] Deprecated Unit Test Methods in Plone core

[Timo S. <li...@zm...>]

Hi,

David and Hector cleaned up some deprecated Python unit test methods
(http://docs.python.org/library/unittest.html#deprecated-aliases) in the
Plone code recently. This brought me to the idea to show/list these
deprecated methods with Jenkins. Here is the result:

https://jenkins.plone.org/view/Plone%20Core/view/Plone%204.2/job/plone-4.2-code-analysis/300/tasksResult/new/

https://jenkins.plone.org/view/Plone%20Core/view/Plone%204.2/job/plone-4.2-code-analysis/300/tasksResult/?

The blue bar shows the deprecated unit test methods. If you click on the
"types" tab, you can see how many deprecated methods exactly we
currently have in the Plone core code:

assertEquals	3788	
	
assert_	1811	
	
failIf	1444	
	
failIfAlmostEqual	2	
	
failIfEqual	91	
	
failUnless	4392	
	
failUnlessAlmostEqual	2	
	
failUnlessEqual	754	
	
failUnlessRaises	32	

Maybe this helps if people want to clean up things.

Oh, and btw, we have around 40.000 Pep8 violations if someone has spare
time ;)
