[Simpletest-support] Assertions won't take Expectations :(

[Jason S. <jsw...@ya...>]

in simpletest_1.0beta2

$this->AssertError(new
WantedPatternExpectation('/No.*plant.*'.TEST_PLANT_BAD.'.*/i'));

produces:

Fail: testbadgetlovparms->Expected [Object] in PHP error [No Cost Card List of
Value Keys for plant 'FOOBAR'] severity [E_USER_NOTICE] in
[/home/sweatje/public_html/pftanal/models/PlantConfig.php] line [263]

Can Assertions be modified to accept Expectations?  or is there a simpler way
to look for patterns in errors?

I have temporarily added the following assertion:

/**
 *    Confirms that an error has occurred and
 *    optionally that the error text matches.
 *    @param $expected   Expected error text regex
 *    @param $message    Message to display.
 *    @public
 */
function assertErrorPattern($expected = false, $message = "%s") {
	$queue = &SimpleErrorQueue::instance();
	if ($queue->isEmpty()) {
		$this->fail(sprintf($message, "Expected error not found"));
		return;
	}
	list($severity, $content, $file, $line, $globals) = $queue->extract();
	$severity = SimpleErrorQueue::getSeverityAsString($severity);
	$this->assertTrue(
			!$expected || (preg_match($expected, $content)),
			"Expected pattern [$expected] does not match PHP error [$content] severity
[$severity] in [$file] line [$line]");
}

But this seems like something I would want all the time in a variety of test
cases.  Any guidance on a permanent fix?

Thanks,

Jason
