[development] Error running SimpleTest on new installation

[Sookocheff, Kevin]

Hi Dave,

This is not the same scenario that I have encountered.  Your patch does
remove the specific error Undefined index: test_id in
_simpletest_batch_finished().  However, I still receive the message "The
tests did not successfully finish" even though _all_ of the individual
tests are listed as passed.  Some of the tests do not set the input
parameters to _simpletest_batch_finished correctly, even though they
report that they have passed.  To reproduce this, I run SimpleTest on
the BootStrap module and always receive a message saying that all
individual tests have passed but still receive a message "The tests did
not successfully finish".

So far, I haven't been able to find any place where the variable
$success is ever set.  I have filed a bug report about this and will
continue to investigate.


Kevin

That SimpleTest error happens when the first test fails. Since the test 
didn't complete, it's test_id does not get saved. If more than one tests

pass, a valid test_id is saved. I have an issue report for this bug at 
http://drupal.org/node/325824*.

> That particular error is usually caused by a bug in one of the unit
tests you ran causing simpletest to hiccup.  I've seen it a couple of
times, and it's sometimes sporadic, unfortunately.  It could be a bug in
simpletest itself.  I've not ruled that out yet.

problem.  If you can establish a pattern (a particular test, more than X
tests, some particular phase of the moon, etc.) then file a bug report
for the appropriate module (which could be simpletest itself).  If you
need more help narrowing it down, stop by #Drupal on IRC.  Simpletest is
high in the mind of most core devs of late, so there's a good chance
you'll find someone who can give you more detailed help tracking down
the problem.
