python - How to assert variable content in unit test (Flask, Python3, Nose2) -


i have flask app page content comes global variable. i'm trying set unit testing assert data, can't seem local variable work:

test_string = foo  self.assertin(b['test_string'], response.data)

fails with:

nameerror: name 'b' not defined

if reference plain variable:

self.assertin(test_string, response.data)

i expected failure:

typeerror: bytes-like object required, not 'str'

the test succeeds if hard-code variable data test, i'd rather not have update test if variable changes. missing here?

the problem bytes literal prefix b:

bytes literals prefixed 'b' or 'b'; produce instance of bytes type instead of str type. may contain ascii characters; bytes numeric value of 128 or greater must expressed escapes.

while sounds bytesprefix = bytes type, not seem work if data comes variable.

the solution change b prefix bytes functionbytes, states:

bytes objects can created literals, see string , bytes literals.

so while appear interchangeable, not case!

for use case, had specify encoding type bytes function.

here working syntax original post's example:

self.assertin(bytes(test_string, "utf-8"), response.data)

thanks goes john gordon suggested switching bytes in comments, never officially answered. after few days, i'll go ahead , close out now.

arrays - What causes a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and how do I prevent it? -

what arrayindexoutofboundsexception mean , how rid of it? here code sample triggers exception: string[] name = {"tom", "dick", "harry"}; for(int = 0; i<=name.length; i++) { system.out.print(name[i] +'\n'); } your first port of call should documentation explains reasonably clearly: thrown indicate array has been accessed illegal index. index either negative or greater or equal size of array. so example: int[] array = new int[5]; int boom = array[10]; // throws exception as how avoid it... um, don't that. careful array indexes. one problem people run thinking arrays 1-indexed, e.g. int[] array = new int[5]; // ... populate array here ... (int index = 1; index <= array.length; index++) { system.out.println(array[index]); } that miss out first element (index 0) , throw exception when index 5. valid indexes here 0-4 inclusive. correct, idiomatic for statement here be: for (int index = 0; index <...
