When running a script in the IDE that uses the unit test module, you
cannot use unittest.main(), you have to use

suite = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(TestClass)
unittest.TextTestRunner().run(suite)

to run your tests.

Only when running a script from command line, sys.argv is populated as
expected.

So to be consistent, do not use unit test.main() generally.


** Summary changed:

- IndexError in unittest.main()
+ X-1.0rc2: IDE: unittest.main() not usable - sys.argv is empty --- workaround

** Description changed:

+ *** workaround:
+ see comment #1
+ ---------------------------------
+ 
  If using the unittest module in the Sikuli IDE, it will fail after
  calling unittest.main() with this backtrace.
  
  [error] Error message: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\DOCUME~1\JSTERN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\sikuli-tmp6357708907197010851.py", line 28, in

+     unittest.main()
  File "C:\Program Files\Sikuli X\sikuli-script.jar\Lib\unittest.py", line 766, in __init__
  IndexError: index out of range: 0
  
  That line is:
-         self.progName = os.path.basename(argv[0])
+         self.progName = os.path.basename(argv[0])
  
  It just looks like Sikuli isn't passing the program name as the first
  argument and the unittest module wants that.
