unittest expectedFailure and xfail
xfail isn't just for pytest tests. Python's unittest has @unittest.expectedFailure.
In this episode, we cover:
- using @unittest.expectedFailure
- the results of passing and failing tests with expectedFailure
- using pytest as a test runner for unittest
- using pytest markers on unittest tests
Docs for expectedFailure:

Some sample code.
unittest only:
unittest only:
import unittest
class ExpectedFailureTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
@unittest.expectedFailure
def test_fail(self):
self.assertEqual(1, 0, "broken")
@unittest.expectedFailure
def test_pass(self):
self.assertEqual(1, 1, "not broken")
unittest with pytest markers:
import unittest
import pytest
class ExpectedFailureTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
@pytest.mark.xfail
def test_fail(self):
self.assertEqual(1, 0, "broken")
@pytest.mark.xfail
def test_pass(self):
self.assertEqual(1, 1, "not broken")
