[development] Error running SimpleTest on new installation

[Sookocheff, Kevin]

Thanks for the reply Larry,

I have been working on isolating the problem for most of the day but I
have found it affects a lot of different cases so it makes isolation
difficult.

For example, testing the Bootstrap module I receive the following
pass/fail results.  In this table, 1 means the test has been run by
checking the appropriate box.

IP Address test, Page cache test, Variable test: Result
---
111: The tests did not successfully finish. 11 passes, 0 fails, 0
exceptions
110: Pass
101: The tests did not successfully finish. 8 passes, 0 fails, 0
exceptions
100: Pass
011: The tests did not successfully finish. 11 passes, 0 fails, 0
exceptions
010: Pass
001: Undefined index: test_id in _simpletest_batch_finished() (line 423
of
E:\xampp\htdocs\drupal_test\modules\simpletest\simpletest.module).

The error Undefined index: test_id in _simpletest_batch_finished() (line
423 of E:\xampp\htdocs\drupal_test\modules\simpletest\simpletest.module)
is present for a lot more test cases than just Bootstrap.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to IRC from my development
environment but I will file a bug against SimpleTest as soon as I have
the opportunity.

Kevin

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.

See if you can narrow it down to a single test that's causing the
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.

Thank you for helping make Drupal better!
