Unittest - unable to start the application from setup

not really clear, what your problem is.
please talk about, what you want to achieve and paste error messages if any.

setUp() is specific for each class TestCase().

each class TestCase can have as many testXXX() as you like.
per class TestCase, each testXXX is preceded by the class's setUp() and followed by the class's teardown.

So usually tests are grouped in one class, according to the fact, that they need the same setUp() and tearDown().

--- aview = App(r'C:/Files/Classroom/Classroom.exe') # not able to start the app
when using raw strings, you have to use \

Hi RaiMan,
i want to start the application from the setup and execute bunch of
testcases in other functions. but I cannot start the application from setup
even after change to \. Here is the code snippet I used

class MyTest1(unittest.TestCase):
    def setup(self):
        aview = App(r'C:\Program Files\A-VIEW Classroom\A-VIEW
Classroom.exe')
        aview.open()
    def test1(self):
        pass

Just to make sure it is not due to the syntax error I tried the exact code
by copy/paste from setup to test1 function and the application was
started.

Thanks

Aaaaaarrrrgh ***

Did not see it:

the function is named:

setUp()

sorry, for being blind ;-)

Hi RaiMan,

That is funny!
Sorry I should have been more careful.

Appreciate your help and being patient at my stupid mistake.

Regards,
