I noticed that naming tests after specific COM libraries, like the old
test_ie.py, makes them brittle.When a COM library becomes unavailable, the test breaks, and its original purpose can be lost.
To address this, I have renamed test files to reflect their testing goals rather than the specific libraries they use.
This will help future maintainers understand the test's intent and find alternative libraries if needed.
comtypes/test/test_msi.pyis renamed tocomtypes/test/test_puredispatch.py.comtypes/test/test_wmi.pyis renamed tocomtypes/test/test_variant_outparam.py.Additionally, I encountered an issue in
comtypes/test/test_eventinterface.pywhere the entire module was being skipped bysetUpModule.To make it easier to add new tests for event interfaces (outgoing interfaces), I have replaced the module-level skip with individual
@unittest.skipdecorators on the test methods.
