Have an if statement into a test function python [duplicate]

Question

i want to make a test function to see if the result from a function returns a dictionary. How would a function with pytest work with this?

Context: The first function is on another file on my computer under the folder called youtube, there is a file called diagnostics.

def test_analisys(entries):
if diagnostics.analisys ...:
    return True
msg = "Type incorrect"
assert diagnostics.analisys(entries, 100000) == 962, msg

this is how my idea would be, test if the function returns a dict, if it doesn't say this message

You want to check if it's a dictionary and, if not, check that it's equal to the specific tuple (962, "Type incorrect")? What on earth is this function doing that those are the two possibilities? — Silvio Mayolo

An easy way to check an object type is the "isinstance" function.

You could use that to check if the return value of a function call is of type dictionary:

assert isinstance(your_function_call(), dict), msg
