Treat methodName="runTest" similar to unittest.TestCase #373

Closed ncopa closed 3 months ago

ncopa commented 3 months ago

pytest 82. relies on a feature of unittest.TestCase where the initialization of it with the default methodName="runTest" is treated specially, allowing it to insantiate even without runTest method actually existing.

See under "Changed in Python 3.2" in unittest.TestCase docs

This fixes the error with pytest 8.2: AttributeError: 'TestUtil' object has no attribute 'runTest'. Did you mean: 'subTest'?
