Re: [Simpletest-support] Error output among websites regular output

[Anders A. <tr...@gm...>]

Hey again.

I have studied the source now and found something that seems wrong.
In errors.php there is a tally method that loops through $this->queue and
paints all the errors.
But nothing is ever pushed to this queue.

So I added the following in testLatestError, in the else block.
            array_push($this->queue, array($severity, $content, $filename,
$line));

Now I can hide the view output and I'm getting the error in a clean summary.
Did I find a bug here or have I missed something?
