[TIP] What to do when a test is stuck

[yoav glazner]

Hi,

I'm using Nose with Pymock.
I have some tests that could result in an endless loop.
how can termenate it after some time if no result was given?

i wonder if there is  a decorator for these things, something like:

@time_limit(5) # now this test should fail.
def testMylooping(self):
  while(True):
    assert 1+1 == 2 ,'python told me that 1+1 != 2!!!'


Thanks,
Yoav.
