I am testing an exception using assertRaises, even though exception is raised, it is not detected by assertRaises

Here is the method under test:

def process_data(data):
    """
    process output data
    :return: dict object 
    """
    component = dict()
    try:
        properties = dict()
        properties['state'] = data['state']
        properties['status'] = data['status']
        component['properties'] = properties
    except KeyError as e:
        print "Missing key '{0}' in the response data".format(str(e))

    return component

sample_data = {}
process_data(sample_data)

And the test code is:

import unittest
import test_exception


class TestExceptions(unittest.TestCase):
    """
    test class
    """
    def test_process_data(self):
        """
        test
        :return: 
        """
        sample = {}
        self.assertRaises(KeyError, test_exception.process_data, sample)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

But it is not working as expected, getting following errors:

unittest -p test_test_exception.py
Missing key ''state'' in the response data 


Missing key ''state'' in the response data


Failure

What is wrong with unit test case?

感谢您使用正确的上下文和代码发布明确的问题。这是问题所在：

except KeyError as e:
    print "Missing key '{0}' in the response data".format(str(e))

这应该是：

except KeyError as e:
    print "Missing key '{0}' in the response data".format(str(e))
    raise

您的单元测试正在检查是否引发了异常（代码完全短路）。查找异常类型并打印消息与使用raise关键字引发错误不同。
