[2005-10-24 16:15 UTC] bokelley at rightmedia dot com

Description:
------------
I'm writing a fairly simple test harness for some classes that hit a database. When a query is misformed (or whatever) an exception is thrown.

When the exception hits the PHPUnit tests, they record an error. This is great. However, they don't display what the exception was:

There were 2 errors:
1) testInsertThenLoadTiesOut(CreativeTest)

/home/bok/php/soap/types/creative.inc:195
/home/bok/php/soap/types/CreativeTest.php:79

The exception contains plenty of information about why it failed (the exact query text, for instance) but now I have to add a printf in the code (if query fails, print error info, then throw error info).

Would be great to have the exception message be printed out on error.

This should already happen, have a look at the following example:

<?php
require_once 'PHPUnit2/Framework/TestCase.php';

class ErrorTest extends PHPUnit2_Framework_TestCase {
public function testError() {
throw new Exception('Error message.');
}
}
?>

$ phpunit ErrorTest
PHPUnit 2.3.2 by Sebastian Bergmann.

There was 1 error:

Error message.
/home/sb/ErrorTest.php:6

FAILURES!!!
Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Incomplete Tests: 0.

Which version of PHPUnit2 are you using? Does the getMessage() method of your Exception class return the message string properly?
