Retrieving the testcase name in class inheriting unit testca

[Anil Gollaa]

Hi,
How can i retrieve the testcase name, while running the testcases of the
class
inherited by unit testcase.

For example in the below script
I would like to access the testcase name in setup function.

Testscript
require "test/unit"

class TestSimpleNumber < Test::Unit::TestCase

def setup
# need to get the testcase name that is executed when we run the the
testcases
# using ruby
end

def test_simple
assert_equal("abc", "abc" )

end
End

Please help me in this regard.

Do you mean like

@name = self.class.name

? This seems superfluous as you can invoke that chain from any of the
tests.

end

def test_simple
assert_equal("abc", "abc" )

end
End
