From 1007432c95acee46a09b08306ef1859b97a184b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zachary Ware Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2013 09:02:41 -0600 Subject: Issue #19987: Re-write test_alias_fallback in test_winsound to have two acceptable outcomes: success or RuntimeError. Without being able to actually hear whether a sound was played, either one could be right, but any other error would be a failure. --- Lib/test/test_winsound.py | 15 ++++++++------- Misc/NEWS | 2 +- 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/Lib/test/test_winsound.py b/Lib/test/test_winsound.py index 2759787..069adc3 100644 --- a/Lib/test/test_winsound.py +++ b/Lib/test/test_winsound.py @@ -158,14 +158,15 @@ class PlaySoundTest(unittest.TestCase): ) def test_alias_fallback(self): - if _have_soundcard(): + # In the absense of the ability to tell if a sound was actually + # played, this test has two acceptable outcomes: success (no error, + # sound was theoretically played; although as issue #19987 shows + # a box without a soundcard can "succeed") or RuntimeError.
