I just started using Test::Unit to write some tests for refactored code If you've only just started using Test::Unit may I suggest (with only a little bit of authorial bias ;-) that you stop - and use Test::Class instead, which supports skipped tests. AFAIK Test::Unit doesn't support skipped tests and is no longer being actively developed.	[reply]

Thanks, I'll give it a look.	[reply]

How are you using the skip() function ? The correct way to do it (as the document says) is to wrap your tests with a SKIP: {}; block, like this: `SKIP: { skip $why, $how_many unless $have_some_feature; ok( foo(), $test_name ); is( foo(42), 23, $test_name ); };` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Which would work fine, except there is no skip() function in Test::Unit::TestCase. `$ ( perldoc -m Test::Unit ; perldoc -m Test::Unit::TestCase ; \ perldoc -m Test::Unit::TestSuite; perldoc -m Test::Unit::Runner; \ perldoc -m Test::Unit::Assert ; perldoc -m Test::Unit::Tutorial ; \ perldoc -m Test::Unit::Test ; perldoc -m Test::Unit::Loader ) \ \| grep -i skip debug(sprintf "skipping %s\n", $t->name()); $` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
