Docstrings in test functions confuse unittest's output parser

[Korbz]

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Started a unit test case with unittest

Unit Test class:

import unittest
from src import add

class AddTestCase(unittest.TestCase):

    def test_add(self):
        """Is five successfully determined to be prime?"""
        addition = add.add(2,3)
        self.assertEquals(5, addition)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

Tested function:

def add(x, y):
    return x+y

@Korbz What version of the spyder-unittest plugin are you using? A very similar issue was fixed in version 0.3.0, so maybe uprading the plugin will fix this for you.

I'm using version 0.3.1.
Switching the test framework to nose solved this issue.

I can reproduce this, except that Spyder hangs on my computer. I think it has to do with the docstring in the test function. Unittest prints out this docstring and that confuses the parser. I will try to fix this.

Thanks for the report.
