Ok thank you. I tried for a while.

I wanted to use ClassStat to get nicer Classnames instead of just
uppercase. Even if in .component of gb.test stands "Requires=gb.util"
the testclasses cannot be found by ClassStat:

ClassStat says: "Class not found" when Unittest is called from inside
the project to be tested.

*But this is not the main problem.*

The main problem in my opinion is that Class.Load(sName) in
GetAllTestContainerNames only works if the testclasses are exported and
so these are visible and callable later on when the project is in
production. I don't like that.

There IMO we need a new form of class a la classname.test which is
handled by the interpreter/compiler in a different way.

My idea was, that not the IDE tests but the executable itself is able to
test itself when compiled with debugging symbols and called in a special
way.

If you create and call unittesthelloworld.gambas you can see what I mean.

It creates the testresults as TAP which can processed later for example
with Tobi's harness in gb.test.tap and then displayed in different ways.

Alles Gute
