Hello,

I tried to use assertion's the first time in my code and had absolutely now
success. I always get following error:

TEST FAILED.undefined method `add_assertion' for nil:NilClass
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/testcase.rb:115:in `add_assertion'
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/assertions.rb:353:in `_wrap_assertion'
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/assertions.rb:38:in `assert'
./utils.rb:1376:in `bpVerifyOnPage'

Here is a code snipe (verify is a string that is passed to a function):

The if statement works fine. The assert gives me trouble. Why? What is
wrong? What is the nil class?
I also tried assert(true), assert_equal("1234","1234") with the same result
 
 class BPUtils  < Test::Unit::TestCase

    def initialize
    end

    def
     .........some code
       begin
	   assert($ie.contains_text( verify ) )
	   puts("TEST PASSED. Found test string #{verify}")
        
	  #if $ie.contains_text( verify ) then
             	  #   some 	      
      	  #else
                      #   some code
            #end              
   
       rescue  => e
	puts("TEST FAILED." + e.message + "\n" + e.backtrace.join("\n"))

          
	# hand exception over to main program to quit the program
          	raise QuitProgram, "quit program", caller
       end
end
