Purpose
This PR addresses a
TODOintesting/python/raises_group.pythat pointed out a poorly structured sentence in a test's expected error message.I traced this back to the source of the message in
src/_pytest/raises.pyand refactored it to be clearer and more direct.expected exception must be a BaseException type, not '...'Expected a BaseException type, but got '...'Tests
Because the library's error message was changed, this PR also updates all the tests in the following files that were asserting the old message:
testing/python/raises.pytesting/python/raises_group.pyThis resolves the
TODOand makes the error messages more consistent and readable.
