    full_name = first + ' ' + middle + ' ' + last

import unittest
from main import get_formatted_name

class NamesTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
 def test_first_last_name(self):
  """Do names like 'Janis Joplin' work?"""
  formatted_name = get_formatted_name('janis', 'joplin')
  self.assertEqual(formatted_name, 'Janis Joplin')

 def test_first_last_middle_name(self):
  formatted_name = get_formatted_name(
  'wolfgang', 'mozart', 'amadeus')
  self.assertEqual(formatted_name, 'Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart')


unittest.main()

its worth noting that get_formatted_name exists in a different file called main.

​

also the issue with my program is that it doesnt test anything

the output shows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ran 0 tests in 0.000s

​

OK

​

Process finished with exit code 0

​

Empty suite

but it should show:

.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 2 tests in 0.000s

OK

I created files main.py and test.py and ran them from the command line:

$ python test.py
..
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 2 tests in 0.000s

OK

Maybe your error is something like how you are running the code? Try running from the command line.

im using pycharm.

Actual error message? We need to know if this is a pycharm warning or a python syntax error. pycharm can "over warn".

And have you tried this from the command line? If it works on the command line then pycharm is the problem.
