I'd like to better understand the semantics of "expected failures" in TestRunner. It seems to me that if you want to ensure that a certain operation fails, in a test you'd wrap it as follows... shouldFailed=false. [ self operationThatShouldFail ] on: Error do: [ shouldFailed := true ]. self assert: shouldFailed. So is tagging methods with pragma <expectedFailure> or in method #expectedFailures a temporary measure used to bypass a failing test when the judgment is that it is not critical to fix immediately? What is the process for tacking and resolving expected failures. It would give a warm fuzzy feeling if no expected failures are reported in TestRunner. Otherwise it leaves some residual uncertainty that something is wrong, even though a failure is "expected". cheers -ben
