[Simpletest-support] Line numbers of failed assertions

[Yaroslav D. <ya...@wa...>]

Hello guys,

I just wanted to share a finding that saved me considerable amount of 
typing today. But it requires XDebug (www.xdebug.org).

------------------------------
Index: simple_test.php         
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/simpletest/simpletest/simple_test.php,v

diff -r1.57 simple_test.php

 >                 return TRUE; 
271c272,273                    
<                 $this->fail($message);
---                            
 >                 $this->fail($message. " "."Called @ 
".xdebug_call_file().":".xdebug_call_line()." from 
".xdebug_call_function());
 >                 return FALSE;
-------------------------------

I.e. when assertTrue() fails, the message also includes the source line 
number. Before that, when I extensively used constructs like this:

            $this->assertTrue($this->setField("accounts", "1 Month 
Pass"), "Failed to set 'accounts' field.");
            $this->assertTrue($this->setField("username", 
"yar_auto_test"), "Failed to set 'username' field.");
            $this->assertTrue($this->setField("fname", "AutomaticTest"), 
"Failed to set 'fname' field.");
            $this->assertTrue($this->setField("lname", "ByYar"), "Failed 
to set 'lname' field.");
            $this->assertTrue($this->setField("payment", "worldpay"), 
"Failed to set 'payment' field.");
            $this->clickSubmit('Submit My Order');

it was sometimes too boring to type in multiple messages, and without 
these custom messages it was impossible to locate the error. Now it prints:

"1) True assertion got False Called @ 
/var/www/virtualhosts/someproject.com/tests/test.php:82 from 
testsubscription
        in testsubscription"

Best wishes,
Yar
