How to Assert Exceptions in Python with pytest.raises
Use pytest.raises as a context manager to assert that a function raises an expected exception and inspect its message in pytest tests.
import pytest
def divide(a, b):
if b == 0:
raise ValueError("Cannot divide by zero")
return a / b
def test_divide_by_zero():
with pytest.raises(ValueError) as exc_info:
divide(10, 0)
assert str(exc_info.value) == "Cannot divide by zero"
assert "zero" in str(exc_info.value)
