Summary: class TestGetClass extends UnitTestCase fails

Initial Comment:
Using SimpleTest v1.1alpha3. The following error is produced by the following code:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getDumper() on a non-object in ...\simpletest\test_case.php on line 316 

<?php

error_reporting( E_ALL );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 'On' );

require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/../lib/simpletest/autorun.php' );

class TestGetClass extends UnitTestCase {

  public function testGetClass() {
  
    $this->assertTrue( true );

  }
}

?>

The resolution is to rename the test case from "class TestGetClass" to "class Test_GetClass". I searched the simple test source code for 'GetClass' and found no references, so I'm stumped as to why the class name causes the test to fail like that. I had a TestGetClass unit-test because I was experimenting with uses of the PHP get_class function.

Message:
The trouble starts when you call the "testGetClass" function : PHP thinks
it's the constructor and SimpleTest thinks it's a test function. From then
on everything gets confused ;-)

Depending on what you really wanted to do you should either do :

class TestGetClass extends UnitTestCase {
  public function __construct() {
    $this->assertTrue( true );
  }
}

or 

class TestGetClass extends UnitTestCase {
  public function test_GetClass() {
    $this->assertTrue( true );
  }
}

I hope you'll find this useful.

Yours,
     Perrick
