[Simpletest-support] error suppression operator

[Jeff M. <je...@pr...>]

Hello,

I'm having some trouble writing tests for some code that uses the error 
suppression operator (@).

My problem is that simpletest records ALL errors, even ones that the 
code explicitly suppresses using the error suppression operator.

I am getting cascades of unimportant errors that cause my test to 
indicate failure when I don't consider it to have failed.

Adding the following to simpleTestErrorHandler clears up the problem 
and the test passes.

         if ( ( $severity & error_reporting() ) != $severity ) {
             return; // Ignore this error because of error suppression
         }

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Jeff
