assertIsNone() in Python is a unittest library function that is used in unit testing to check that input value is None or not. This function will take two parameters as input and return a boolean value depending upon assert condition. If input value is equal to None assertIsNone() will return true else return false.
Syntax: assertIsNone(testValue, message)
Parameters: assertIsNone() accept two parameters which are listed below with explanation:
- testValue: test variable as the input value to check equality with None
- message: a string sentence as a message which got displayed when the test case got failed.
Listed below are two different examples illustrating the positive and negative test case for given assert function:
Example 1: Negative Test case
Python3
# unit test case import unittest class TestMethods(unittest.TestCase): # test function def test_negative(self): firstValue = "neveropen" # error message in case if test case got failed message = "Test value is not none." # assertIsNone() to check that if input value is none self.assertIsNone(firstValue, message) if __name__ == '__main__': unittest.main() |
Output:
F
