Ok, this is messy, ugly, and probably not what you want :-)

[martin@dorfl martin]$ cat test.rb

require 'test/unit'
 
def f(i)
        raise "anException" if i==1
        i
end
 
class TestX < Test::Unit::TestCase
 
        def testF
          10.times { |i|
                        assert_nothing_raised("i was #{i}") {
                                assert_equal(0, f(i), "i was #{i}")
                        }
                }
        end
end

As you can see, the problem now is that if the assert_equal fails, we 
actually get an "Exception raised" error. However, you do get to see what 
i is :-)

Cheers,
