Crossposted to the Watir list, my apologies:

I’m trying to integrate Test::Unit::Reporter with my little harness  
script below, and struggling. I think I must have a basic  
misunderstanding.

Ideally, I would pass each “test\_cases” array to Reporter and it would  
Do The Right Thing, but that’s not happening.

Immediate error is “…uninitialized constant  
Test::Unit::UI::Reporter::Reporter (NameError)”

#ORIGINAL WORKING SCRIPT

TOPDIR = File.join(File.dirname( **FILE** ), ‘…’)  
$LOAD\_PATH.unshift TOPDIR  
require ‘test/unit’  
require ‘fileutils’  
include FileUtils::Verbose

test\_dirs = Dir.glob(“suite\*\*”)

0.upto(test\_dirs.length - 1) do |dirnum|

chdir(test\_dirs[dirnum])  
puts “”  
puts “working in #{test\_dirs[dirnum]}”

test\_cases = Dir.glob("\*rb")

test\_cases.each do |casex|  
puts “running #{casex}”

test\_result = `ruby #{casex}`  
puts test\_result  
end

chdir("…")

end #do

# WHAT I WISH WOULD HAPPEN

TOPDIR = File.join(File.dirname( **FILE** ), ‘…’)  
$LOAD\_PATH.unshift TOPDIR  
require ‘test/unit’

@test\_cases = Test::Unit::TestSuite.new

0.upto(test\_dirs.length - 1) do |dirnum|

chdir(test\_dirs[dirnum])

@test\_cases = Dir.glob("\*rb")

  Test::Unit::UI::Reporter::Reporter.run(@test_cases,

Replace this with

```
  Test::Unit::UI::Reporter.run(@test_cases, 'build/report', :xml)

```

and it might work. At the very least, you’ll be getting some other  
error! 🙂
