I'd like to better understand the semantics of "expected failures" in
TestRunner. It seems to me that if you want to ensure that a certain
operation fails, in a test you'd wrap it as follows...
shouldFailed=false.
[ self operationThatShouldFail ] on: Error do: [ shouldFailed := true ].
self assert: shouldFailed.
So is tagging methods with pragma <expectedFailure> or in method
#expectedFailures a temporary measure used to bypass a failing test when
the judgment is that it is not critical to fix immediately? What is the
process for tacking and resolving expected failures. It would give a
warm fuzzy feeling if no expected failures are reported in TestRunner.
Otherwise it leaves some residual uncertainty that something is wrong,
even though a failure is "expected".
