Re: [Wtr-general] report failure question?
Here are some other suggestions:
1) Perhaps try adding messages to your asserts. If you just want some
extra logging when failures occur, this may be all you need to do.
All the assert methods I've seen support this; just add the message as
the last arg you pass to the assert call.
The message will show up in the test results if the test fails (even
when using Test::Unit::Reporter; the message will be in the type
column for failed test methods). And as you might expect, you can use
#{} to interpolate variables in the message (from what I've seen, at
least. :) ). This is really useful if you want to have extra
descriptive text beyond nil is not true after failed asserts. For
example:
assert($ie.link(:text, nameOfLink).exists?, Link with text
'#{name_of_link}' was not found!)
2) Another cool technique that Bret suggested to the list a month or so ago:
See http://www.mail-archive.com/wtr-general@rubyforge.org/msg04849.html
- Add this method to your test class:
def verify boolean, message = 'verify failed.'
add_assertion
add_failure message, caller unless boolean
end
- Now call the verify method instead of assert, and your test will
continue executing even if the verification fails:
test_testMethodFoo
result = verify($ie.link(:text, nameOfLink).exists?)
puts Test is still executing...
if !result
do_some_extra_stuff()
end
end
I may not be using that method in the intended fasion, but this
technique brings up a lot of possibilities, regardless.
Thanks

now it seems to work, does anyone know better way?

Re: [Wtr-general] report failure question?
Whoops, my verify example was meant to be more like this: test_testMethodFoo result = $ie.link(:text, nameOfLink).exists? verify(result) puts Test is still executing... if !result do_some_extra_stuff() end end ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] report failure question?
I just want to make assert of link, after i remove rescue block, assert method works and I can see that test failed on report, but it skips my test case and I wish to avoid it, I want to add some extra information to my logger file when test fails
def test_namemethod begin assert($ie.link(:text, 'name_of_link').exists?) # here i want to add some information to my logger when test succed or failed $logger.log('some information')
endend#the in the end of file I generate reportsuite = Test::Unit::TestSuite.new(Name of suite) suite NameofMyClass.suite FileUtils.mkdir_p 'report' Test::Unit::UI::
Reporter.run(suite, './report', :html)

Re: [Wtr-general] report failure question?
the problem is that when I put 'rescue=e' statement I catch exception and report shows that test pass If you rescue the exception is it not swallowed up? do you then not need to invoke the exception message and the stacktrace? rescue = e p e.message p e.backtrace and then deal with the exception in some way?

Re: [Wtr-general] report failure question?
Are you using Test::Unit::Reporter? It could be useful to put together a small demo script that will demonstrate the problem. So it sounds like you have a test that is expected to fail, and it's not failing? (Or is it that the script is behaving properly, but the report does not have the correct result for the test?) Which assert method are you using? Might be something that could be easily fixed...
