str() on the pytest.raises context variable doesn't behave same as normal exception catch #5412
Description
Pytest 4.6.2, macOS 10.14.5
try:
raise LookupError(
f"A\n"
f"B\n"
f"C"
)
except LookupError as e:
print(str(e))prints
A
B
C
But
with pytest.raises(LookupError) as e:
raise LookupError(
f"A\n"
f"B\n"
f"C"
)
print(str(e))prints
:3: LookupError: A
In order to get the full error message, one must do str(e.value), which is documented, but this is a different interaction. Any chance the behavior could be changed to eliminate this gotcha?
