Description

Issue body actions

turtle module has too few tests.

These are the module's public classes to review if there are test and/or implement them:

  • RawTurtle
  • ScrolledCanvas
  • TNavigator
  • TPen
  • Tbuffer
  • Terminator
  • Turtle
    • dot (see gh-138772: Add tests for Turtle.dot signature #138773)
  • TurtleGraphicsError
  • TurtleScreen
  • TurtleScreenBase
  • Vec2D

Some random notes:

  1. For those going to work on teleport, see gh-107805: Fix signatures of module-level generated functions in turtle #107807 (review)

Here, go the module's functions:

  • Screen
  • config_dict
  • demo1
  • demo2
  • getmethpartlist (WIP: [WIP, do not merge] add TestGetmethparlist test to getmethparlist #135533)
  • read_docstrings
  • readconfig
  • switchpen
  • write_docstringdict

    Yes, I do. However, I prefer not to be assigned, as I'm unsure when I might be available to do this.

    I realized that python -m test doesn't run doctest against the turtle module.
    Is there some reason for that? Or was it just forgotten?

    Doesn't it need -ugui resource? if this still doesn't run the doctests, then maybe it's a more general issue where we don't run doctests in the code at all.

    Doens't work.

    if this still doesn't run the doctests, then maybe it's a more general issue where we don't run doctests in the code at all.

    I found it working for the enum module, for instance.
