Questions
When you are ready to make an assertion in your test, your Actor can ask a Question. The answer to this Question will be compared against a Resolution. This pairing forms an assertion in ScreenPy.
Our Complete Example used two Questions:
AudienceTension and TopAudienceReaction.
Let’s see how the latter might look:
# questions/top_audience_reaction.py
from screenpy import Actor
from ..abilities import PollTheAudience
class TopAudienceReaction:
"""Ask about the audience's most popular reaction.
Examples::
the_actor.should(See.the(TopAudienceReaction(), Equals(LAUGHING))
"""
def answered_by(self, the_actor: Actor) -> str:
"""Direct the actor to ask about the audience's top mood."""
pollster = the_actor.ability_to(PollTheAudience).poll_connection
return pollster.poll_mood().top_mood
A Question is Answerable,
which is to say
it has an answered_by method.
Passing a Question
along with a Resolution
into the See Action
is how to make assertions in ScreenPy.
The Question provides the actual value
while the Resolution provides the expected value.
