Description

« Hide

Note: I have submitted an unexpected exception before (cf. attached screenshot #4) -- please ignore that and focus instead on this one.

"BeforeFirstTest" stems from Ant: see http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ant-dev/200607.mbox/%[email protected]%3E

+ registerTestCase("BeforeFirstTest");
