Hello everyone,

I've been writing a sage module in which I've written some documentation examples and tests. I wanted to run a doctest just to verify if everything is correct but function "run_doctests" seems to introduce a non-expected bug in the software. Here's an exampe:

sage: run_doctests("module.sage")
too few successful tests, not using stored timings
Running doctests with ID 2021-03-10-10-13-36-df8ccbc8.

TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable NoneType object

Here's more info about the error: it happens whenever I use the run_doctests function. The run_doctests seems to work as it should. However, the problem occurs after I used this function. For example, If I define any object from any class (in my example ModularForms), then when use the special method _repr_ of that object I obtain this error message. I don't think this have anything to do with the ModularForms class.

Do anybody else know what could introduce this error? I was wondering if this error comes from my module or from Sagemath. In my module, I've been following the general conventions of the developper guide.

I've tried both SageMath version 9.0 (from the debian SID package) and SageMath version 9.3.beta8 (compiled from source) and I've got the same error with both versions. If this error comes from the software, I shall open a sage-trac ticket about this issue.

Thank you very much in advance!

edit: I added more information about the issue.

Oh, thanks for pointing this ticket to me. I wasn't aware of it. I guess that I will just do the tests in the console as

In other words, run_doctests is buggy and should not be used? Has anyone ever investigated the nature of those bugs?
