When passed an Argparse.ArgumentError in the self.assertRaises context uniittest does not recognize the exception and raises an exception.
As a consequence the test fails whereas it should pass

What is the output of the failed test?

You raise ArgumentTypeError, but expect ArgumentError. ArgumentTypeError is not a subclass of ArgumentError.
