[Scons-users] Writing test cases for Issue 2615

[Dirk Bächle]

Hi Adarsh,

the "test_*" methods themselves shouldn't "return" (=possibly skipping parts of the test) and for the basic checking of exceptions 
you might want to have a look at "test_warning()" in the same file.

To my knowledge there is no function built-in to SCons for checking the attributes of a directory entry, but using Python 
modules/packages is fine in general.

Best regards,

Dirk
