Python Python Testing First Steps With Testing Writing and Running Doctests

Just in case your test had unexpected failures! Read this... [SOLUTION]

This is a note for students who might have the same experience as me:

If your get_moves() test had unexpected failures, where Got: seems to be exactly the same as Expected:, make sure you have properly cleaned up all the whitespace around the doctest after copying and pasting from the shell. Even a single extra spacebar space will cause the test to fail.

Cheers! Graham

I've added a solution tag to your post. White space is certainly very important in Python. Happy coding!

Thanks, rydavim!

Awesome, Alexander Kallaway (Emelianov)! Glad it helped.
