Unit test: test not failing if using try-except - python

I am trying to execute post-failure operations; so I can gather info on the state of the system only if it fail.
So far, I did not find a solution that works. I did try to add a try-except and this works; but then the output of my test run is "success", which is totally wrong.
try:
self.assertFalse(x>1, "the test failed")
except Exception as e:
print(e)
# do other post failure actions
Since the exception is caught, I assume that the unit test class won't be involved in reporting the error, and this end up with the test not failing.
How do I "escalate" the failure at the same time to both the except section and the Unit test class?

You can re-raise the exception once you caught and recorded it:
try:
self.assertFalse(x>1, "the test failed")
except Exception as e:
print(e)
# do other post failure actions
raise
Note that you may and should be more specific about the error you are catching - in this case, you are looking for catching the AssertionError exception instead of the generic Exception.

Raising user defined exception when connecting to sqlite

Let's say that I want to connect to database but getting an error on connect. In most of examples what I found people catch basic Error exception. But it also will catch any other mistake. So, the question is, what should I do to raise different user defined exceptions? In other words, how to throw user defined exception instead of predefined exception?
Like this:
class MySpecificException(Exception):
print('Handle exception here:')
try:
1/0
except ZeroDivisionError as e:
print('error text')
raise MySpecificException('SpecificException')

Raise exception for error logs

I'm using a library that is logging an error. But I'd like it to raise an exception instead.
Is there quick way to have an exception raised instead of just an error being logged?
The library I'm using is cssutils, but for simplicity, suppose my code looks like:
from foo import do_something
do_something(x)
and suppose do_something will log an error if x was unacceptable input. Is there some quick hack that would cause an exception to be raised if do_something logs an error? Or is the only way to edit foo's source?
It's not clear if you want to still log the error, but you can try something like:
if error_is_true:
raise Exception("error message...")
With log:
try:
my_function()
except Exception:
logger.exception("error msg...")

Flask cannot raise HTTP exception after try catching Runtime error

When I try to raise a HTTP exception status code 400 it only prints the json error message on the browser but does not state HTTP/1.1 400 BAD REQUEST in the console like it is supposed to. The exception raising works for all other parts of my program but it doesn't work when I do it in a try-catch for a runtime error.
My exception handler is exactly this:
http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.11/patterns/apierrors/
my try-catch:
try:
// run some program
catch RuntimeError as e:
raise InvalidUsage(e.message, status_code=400)
You should use the abort function of flask, something like:
from flask import abort
#app.route("/some_route")
def some_route():
try:
# do something
except SomeException:
abort(400, "Some message")

Python handle custom exception from java web service

I have a java web service and python client using suds. My server raises custom exceptions which I would like to handle in the python script. Is it possible to catch them or it always will be caught as suds.WebFault exception?
suds.WebFault has fault field that has information about fault.
except suds.WebFault, e:
print e.fault.faultstring
print e.document
You can have your program to analyze server custom exception from WebFault and create new exception class(es) for every specific server exception then catch suds.WebFault exception, read server exception details and raise your custom exception.
class MyException(suds.WebFault):
pass
def convertServerException(e):
if e.fault.faultstring == 'exception1':
return MyException()
#...add more exception handling cases here
#...
try:
#...make a WebService call
except suds.WebFault, e:
print e
print e.fault
raise convertServerException(e)

How to log exceptions in appengine?

try:
#do something that raises an exception...
except:
logging.error('Error Message')
I want more than just "Error Message" to show in the logs. I want to see the traceback, or at least what the exception was, in the logs as well. How do I do that?
Thanks!
logging.exception(msg[, *args])
Logs a message with level ERROR on the root logger. The arguments are interpreted as for debug(). Exception info is added to the logging message. This function should only be called from an exception handler.
http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html#logging.exception
This is what I use to log the entire stack trace:
import traceback
try:
# your code
except:
stacktrace = traceback.format_exc()
logging.error("%s", stacktrace)
I think this should help you
import logging
try:
#exception code
except Exception as e:
logging.error(e)
You can set the logging details to Debug,Info,Warning,Error or Critical and set in your application. Debug would give you a lot of details.
import logging
logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
And you can get the logs of the particular filter in your appengine web console under /logs.
