PyTest - Writing Assertions

What is wrong with this test code?

import pytest
def test_attribute_error():
    with pytest.raises(AttributeError):
        obj = None
    obj.method()

AThe test will always pass regardless of exceptions

Bpytest.raises cannot be used to catch AttributeError

CThe variable <code>obj</code> is not defined

DThe call to <code>obj.method()</code> is outside the pytest.raises block and will raise an unhandled exception

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify the exception raising code
The call obj.method() will raise an AttributeError because obj is None.
Step 2: Check the context manager scope
This call is outside the with pytest.raises(AttributeError): block, so the exception is not caught by pytest.raises.
Step 3: Consequence
The test will error instead of passing because the exception is unhandled.
Final Answer:
The call to obj.method() is outside the pytest.raises block and will raise an unhandled exception -> Option D
Quick Check:
Is the exception raising code inside pytest.raises? [OK]

Quick Trick: Exception must be inside pytest.raises block to be caught [OK]
