Re: undefined method `add_assertion' for nil:NilClass

Ruby
1

I started with ruby about 6 weeks ago. So I am pretty new. The code I
have
contains out of 4 files and works only with a specific underlying
application, which I manipulate through the code. Maybe I am
misuderstanding
the use of assertions. I thought that assertions help raising errors. I
don’t want to run a Unittest. So maybe my approach is wrong?
I removee < Test::Unit::TestCase

Now I get:
TEST FAILED.undefined method `assert’ for #WebAC::BPUtils:0x2c2e270

My code:
#Includes
require ‘test/unit/assertions’
require ‘test/unit’

more code

$clsBPUtils = BPUtils.new

more code

class BPUtils
require ‘test/unit/assertions’

def initialize
    # empty
end

def bpVerifyPopupWindowOpen( ieCont, verify)
  begin
  assert( ieCont.contains_text( verify) )
  puts("TEST PASSED. Found test string 'Programming Ruby' ")

rescue => e
puts(“TEST FAILED.” + e.message + “\n” +
e.backtrace.join("\n"))
end
end

Hi Bernd

if your parameter ieCont (I hope that does not mean what I am afraid it
does
mean :wink:
is nil it cannot respond to the method contains_text and that seems to
be
your problem.
It seems you did not pass an object of the expected type.

It does not really have anything to do with assert, only that the stack
trace becomes a little bit confusing sometimes.

Cheers
