I know guys, I’m sorry.  
Anyways, I was wondering. I’ve been following a guide on  
[http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2005/04/index.html](http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2005/04/index.html)

and on the first example for the tutorial he posts 2 test to do, at the  
end of the first test there are 2 “ends” followed by the next test.

Now this is probably something I could have easily answered myself but  
where do I put the second test? before the 2 ends?

Here’s a sample of what I have.

require ‘test/unit’

class StringTest \< Test::Unit::TestCase

def test\_length  
s = “Hello, World!”  
assert\_equal(13, s.length)  
end

end

def test\_expression\_substitution  
assert\_equal(“”, “#{'Hello! ’ \* 3}”)  
end

when you run the script, it’s suppose to tell you how many tests are  
run, and if any of them are wrong synatx. When I run it this way, it  
only shows one test and no error message. Am I doing something wrong?

Anyways a little help please!

The 2nd end ends the class, so you should put the 2nd test above it…
