Custom runner class org.flexunit.runners.Suite cannot be instantiated

[szheigh <sh...@gmail.com>]

I'm trying to build my first Flex project in FlashDevelop. It's a mobile app
for Android and iOS. I am trying to set up FlexUnit for testing, but I am
running into a lot of problems. I finally got it to compile, but when I try
to run it, I get the following error:



Here is my code in Tests.mxml:


And here is AllTestsSuite.as:

I figured out a fix, and this is rather strange.
The problem was that I had "public class AllTestsSuite extends TestSuite"
where it shouldn't have been inheriting from TestSuite. I removed "extends
TestSuite" and now it works fine.
I'm not sure why I had it there in the first place, it's probably something
I had to do with a different testing framework at one time.

It would be nice if FlexUnit would give somewhat more helpful error messages
though...

I posted this on the Nabble forum, and it looks like the code didn't come
through on the mailing list. Here it is again:
