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

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

I addressed this in my first mail.
If I use an output buffer, that will hide the errors too since simpletest
outputs directly to the same stream.


One thought I had is to change simpletest to store all of its output until
the test is over and then print it. That way, any output occuring during
the test can be suppressed.
