In one of my rake test I ran into the same problem. It looks like one of  
the method was getting a null value even though the method signature  
had  [NotNull] with /_!_/. I added a code if the value is null return  
false and my rake test went through. It happened for all but one test  
so I am ok for now. It looks like it is not happening when you execute  
the same command in ir so I think it is specific to rake. I doubt, it  
has to do with ‘:each’ in the teardown part of the rake test.  
Thanks.

Should I be able to run these?

I’m currently getting this error:

:0:in `do_generate': undefined local variable or method `methods’ for  
main:Object (NoMethodError)  
       from :0:in `#block162'        from c:\Projects\IronRuby\trunk\src\IronRuby.Libraries\Extensions\IListOps.cs:785:in `Each’

Command failed with status (1):

Cheers,

Andrew.

How does the method signature with [NotNull] look like? (Note that /_!_/  
is just a comment that is understood by static verification tools, not  
used at runtime at all, the [NotNull] attribute should prevent null to  
go in if called from Ruby, however).
