[Wtr-general] Reporting suggestions?

[Tiffany Fodor]

Hi all!

I'm trying to determine the best way to collect the results of my tests.  I'm using Test::Unit methods for my harness and will have about 15-20 data-driven tests that get information from an excel spreadsheet for use in each test.

I have lots of 'verify' statements that check various conditions and post messages for failed conditions as well as progress statements I generate with simple 'puts' commands.  

Ideally, I'd like all of the results ('puts' statements as well as the Test::Unit results) to be echoed to the command prompt and copied to a log file. I can't find a good way to do this other than copy/paste.  I could write any 'puts' statements to a file as well as the command prompt, but I'm not sure how to capture the Test::Unit results.  I did a web search and the only real answer I found on capturing command line output with Ruby was "don't".

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!
