Works for me. There are actually two places now where I want to use the echo tag. The first is at the head of every category of tests. We also divide up our tests into independently runnable sections, but we have a couple of end-to-end suites that synthesize all the other suites; finding failing tests in that run can be a bit painful.
The other place I want to use it is before tests that have been commmented out. We're going to hook Latka into our automated build process, and under ordinary circumstances the build will fail if any Latka test doesn't pass. But sometimes we will want to release with a known bug, which we'll fix in a follow-up release. Putting an echo tag by a commented-out test reminds us that it still needs to be fixed. - Morgan --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi Morgan, > > read it but didn't get a chance to respond.
