Purpose
This PR addresses a suggestion in
AbstractRaises._check_match(insidesrc/_pytest/raises.py) which noted that the error message for a regex mismatch could be confusing.The previous message used
Regex:andInput:, which could be ambiguous in failure logs.This change updates the
_fail_reasonstring to be more explicit:Regex:->Expected regex:Input:->Actual message:This makes the failure message clearer and easier to debug, as requested in the code comment.
Tests
This change required updating the assertions in several tests that were checking for the exact old error message. The following test files were updated to expect the new, clearer message:
