[Simpletest-support] Beta 2 release

[Marcus B. <ma...@la...>]

Hi.

I meant to include lot's of new features, but the current iteration 
resulted in a lot of refactoring instead. Most issues with the reporting 
of failures are now fixed, especially with mock objects. I am inching 
towards multi-lingual support with each version, but am a little way off 
yet.

The HTML parsing is slowly getting better. Selection lists can now be 
submitted in forms and I have added other minor improvements. Multiple 
selections are not yet possible, but are scheduled for the next cycle.

A minor point...

The refactoring has allowed a long desired feature of mine to "drop 
out". It is the placing of precise expectations into mocks and test 
cases. You can now go...

$mock->expectArguments(new wantedPatternExpectation('/stuff/'));

The comparison will trigger if the only argument is a string matching 
the PERL regular expression, here "stuff". This applies to setting of 
return values as well.

Your own expectation classes can be created as long as it has the 
methods test(), returns boolean, and testMessage(), which has the error 
message as a string. They can be used and tested within the test cases 
directly with...

$this->assertExpectation($expectation, $actual, $message);

yours, Marcus
