`test_archive` does not raise exception on incorrect password

[0ndt]

Hello,

I'm using patoolib.test_archive() to verify password-protected archives. When I provide an incorrect password, the function outputs error messages like:

ERROR: Wrong password : [IN]49.36.64.49[fateclan]\some_file.txt

However, it doesn't raise a PatoolError or any other exception, making it challenging to programmatically detect incorrect passwords.

Expected Behavior:

When an incorrect password is supplied, test_archive() should raise an exception (e.g., PatoolError) to allow developers to handle such cases appropriately.

Actual Behavior:

The function logs error messages to stdout/stderr but does not raise any exceptions, even when the password is incorrect.

Steps to Reproduce:

import patoolib
from patoolib.util import PatoolError

try:
    patoolib.test_archive("protected.rar", password="wrongpassword", interactive=False)
    print("Password is correct.")
except PatoolError as e:
    print("Password is incorrect:", e)

In this scenario, even with an incorrect password, no exception is raised.

Environment:

• patool version: [4.0.1]
• Python version: [3.12.10]

Thank you for your work on patool.
