Subject: misleading output "PASS: Error: ..."
Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2006 19:59:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060120195947.GA8058@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Hallo!

During my work with tgolem I found many lines in the mauve output like
this:

PASS: gnu.testlet.java.lang.Byte.ByteTest: Error: test_Basics failed - 1 (number 1)

They are produced by such code:

                harness.check(!( Byte.MIN_VALUE != -128 ),
                        "Error: test_Basics failed - 1" );

Would you accept patches turning this into

                harness.check(!( Byte.MIN_VALUE != -128 ),
                        "test_Basics - 1" );

? (Only changing the string. Changing the double negation seems too
error prone for the many cases I found.)

BTW I already promised patches for a similar problem. Unfortunately I
had very little spare time recently. I hope this will get better now.

Cheers,
-Edwin
