How to make pytest print traceback, so I would see where in the whatever
function an exception was raised?
Best Answer
pytest.raises(Exception)
is what you need.Code
Output
Note that
e_info
saves the exception object so you can extract details from it. For example, if you want to check the exception call stack or another nested exception inside.
