Helpless beginner... hopefully an easy question!

I'm hoping someone can give me a hint to get me over being stuck learning to use JSTestDriver.  I typed in the examples from the book Test-Driven Javascript Development by Christian Johansen.  One of my tests is failing.

What I don't understand is, JSTestDriver is not printing out a message when it fails.  I get "null" - see output below.

Any ideas why this is?  Even when I specify a message as a static string for the first parameter in the Assert, I still get null. :(

 

C:\Users\t_stelm\Documents\JS-TDD>java -jar %JSTESTDRIVER_HOME%\JSTestDriver-1.2.1.jar --tests all --reset --captureConsole

Chrome: Runner reset.

......F

Total 7 tests (Passed: 6; Fails: 1; Errors: 0) (10.00 ms)

  Chrome 43.0.2357.81 Windows: Run 7 tests (Passed: 6; Fails: 1; Errors 0) (10.00 ms)

    strftimeTest.test %F should act as %Y-%m-%d failed (0.00 ms):

null

Thank you for any help you can provide...

Hi Melinda

I've just encountered this exact problem myself and can't find an answer.  Did you fix this problem since then?

Guys don't waste your time with JsTestDriver.. it's old, unsopported technology, as good as dead. There are several modern alternatives in JS land these days.
