Re: [Simpletest-support] 1.1alpha2 docs and usage

[Mark R. <co...@gm...>]

Hi Mark,

I'm looking into this issue currently.

I was under the assumption that the extensions were packaged
separately from the main build, and the location of the code file in
the extensions directory seems to reflect that. There is a case to be
made for including this in the main build if it is going to be widely
used, but we'd need to hear from more people to confirm this.

Regarding your other question, the most straightforward way would be
to use the SimpleTest::prefer(new CustomReporter()) -- call after you
require the autoload file in your test bootstrap.

If you want to read up on the history of how this part of the
SimpleTest API changed over time, there's an article on my blog
covering all the various ways of customizing reporters on test runs:

Best regards,
Mark
