Description:
------------
This is an error message prompt bug i think. it is produces message make people confuse. example as below.

the follow script i was copy from tutorial of phpunit2, and save it to a file called unittest.php.

<?php
class BankAccount {
private $balance = 0;

public function getBalance() {
return $this->balance;
}

public function setBalance($balance) {
if ($balance >= 0) {
$this->balance = $balance;
}
}

public function depositMoney($amount) {
if (is_numeric($amount) &&
$amount >= 0) {
$this->balance += $amount;
}
}

public function withdrawMoney($amount) {
if (is_numeric($amount) &&
$amount >= 0 &&
$this->balance >= $amount) {
$this->balance -= $amount;
}
}
}

?>
I was want to use skeleton program to produce a test frame for that class.so i had typed following command in DOS window under win2000.

phpunit --skeleton bankaccout(notice: i made a mistake about spell, the corret spell should be "bankaccount") unittest.php, and the phpunit program produced following error prompt:

"Could not write test class skeleton for bankaccout to bankaccoutTest.php".

I have spent hours to check what wrong with my class,final found that i have a wrong spell.
so my suggestion is : can your make this error message more meaningful? like pop up a message say : "these is no class bankaccout in file."

I have checked source file. actully in one of file there is an error message say "can not find class", but i do not know why this message was not displayed.

regards,
