Bret,
Here is a better example of what I'm doing. In the code below I created
a class with a method that makes a call to method in another class. I
want to make assertions in test_myTestCase. If I uncomment the assertion
in test_myTestCase, I get an error. How can I assert in the called
method?
If I do this, the program runs:
require 'test/unit'
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
class TC_MyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_myMethod
puts 'test 1'
assert(true, 'test 1')
@test = TC_MyClass.new()
@test_new = @test.test_myTestCase
end
End
class TC_MyClass
def initialize
end
def test_myTestCase
puts 'test 2'
#assert(true, 'test 2')
puts 'test 3'
puts 'test 4'
end
end
If I do this, the program gives me errors:
class TC_MyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_myMethod
puts 'test 1'
assert(true, 'test 1')
@test = TC_MyClass.new()
@test_new = @test.test_myTestCase
end
End
class TC_MyClass < Test::Unit::TestCase
def initialize
end
def test_myTestCase
puts 'test 2'
assert(true, 'test 2')
puts 'test 3'
puts 'test 4'
end
end

David,
That error message indicates that $ie is nil, which is to say, it hasn't
been initialized. It needs to be assigned in the test_* method or the
initialize method. (Or you need to get fancy, which is what we do in our
unit tests.)
You said that you are trying to structure your test scripts. I suggest
you do this in smaller steps. First just put the common code in a
separate method (not called test*) in the same class. Then move it
outside the class. And only then move it to a new file. There are small
gotcha's with each step, so it's worth taking these small steps until
you understand the source of each of them.

But I would be doing the same thing as I was doing earlier except now I
would have to maintain many files rather one.

require 'negative_tierI_steps.rb' contains the steps that are given me
the problem.
