How to obtain the list of successful tests' method names in unittest.TestResult?

Question

I was checking the online documentation ofunittest.TestResult . If I understand correctly, an instance of this class have two iterable attributes: errors and failures which return instances of unittest.TestCase . And then by using the unittest.TestCase.id() method, one can obtain the absolute package path to the test_* method (including its name) that was called and executed.

However, I didn't find any attribute in unittest.TestResult allowing to find the list of successful tests (after running a unittest.TestSuite ).

So my question is how one should proceed in order to find them?

Answer 1

Finally, what I did was using inheritance. So I extended the unittest.TestResult class and I added a new attribute, a list to track the succesful tests. The list is updated in the following method: wasSuccessful() . Based on the documentation, there is no default implementation for this method so I overrod it in my extended class to achieve what I was looking for.
