Python unit testing with unittest module

Question

This is how I wrote the code to start a test with the unittest module but it is returning as 0 tests. Is the return making any problems? (I am able to share the complete code but it is long). Posting the code and the script below:

1. Script:

   class Test1(unittest.TestCase):
   
       def get_avg(temps, predict_month):
          #print("Temp:==>>>",temps,"predict_month:=>>>>",predict_month)
           temp_arr = []
           idx_num = month_dict[predict_month]
           temp_arr.append(float(temps[idx_num]))
           for i in range (0, 5, 1):
               idx_num += 1
               idx_num = idx_num % 12
               temp_arr.append(float(temps[idx_num]))
               pass
           # return np.average(temp_arr, axis=0) 
   

2. Showing the error with 0 tests:

   Ran 0 tests in 0.000s
   
   OK
   

3. I ran the main unittest at the end with this:

   if __name__ == '__main__':
        unittest.main()
   

I want to know about my faults and loopholes.

Answer 1

The test function should start with test:

class Test1(unittest.TestCase):
 ...
 def test_get_avg(temps, predict_month):
    #print("Temp:==>>>",temps,"predict_month:=>>>>",predict_month)
     temp_arr = []
     idx_num = month_dict[predict_month]
     temp_arr.append(float(temps[idx_num]))
     for i in range (0, 5, 1):
         idx_num += 1
         idx_num = idx_num % 12
         temp_arr.append(float(temps[idx_num]))
         pass
     # return np.average(temp_arr, axis=0) 
 ...
if __name__ == '__main__':
     unittest.main()
