Known test failures

If you're looking for current status, look at the most recent comment
Since we've still got core test failures, and no automated patch testing, I thought it'd be worth doing a snapshot of tests that pass week by week (or more frequently if there's lots of commits). This allows us to keep a historical overview of where bugs have been introduced into either core code, simpletest.module or tests themselves. It should also hopefully help to reduce duplicate issues about broken tests (since a test failure can be down to any one of those conditions).
5th/9th June
5th June 2008
22 modules pass
9 modules fail
of which:
2 are due to core bugs where the test is finding the bug
2 have failures or exceptions due to testing framework issues
5 have failures due to bugs in the test itself.
Both core bugs have RTBC patches. A couple of tests have RTBC patches too, so the situation could be better after some commits, but equally some issues don't have patches yet (and I had to make an issue for a couple of failures I couldn't find issues for).
Any corrections I'll edit in, although more than a week and it'd be worth doing another snapshot.
Tests that pass:

9th June update
Here's another run through since there's been a lot of activity since last week.
Highlights
All failures are now down to bugs in simpletest.module or core, rather than the tests themselves.
There were a couple of new failures which were due to simpletest checking for invalid permissions - which it'd ignored before **
Passes:
Aggregator (but see RTBC patch here: http://drupal.org/node/260778)

Tests go boom in comments
I pulled down a fresh copy of head this morning, and did a Run all tests. It got about 10% of the way in and went boom, with 775 passes, 1 fail, 0 exceptions. It looks like it was in the comments testing, 188 done, and then:
An error occurred. /head/batch?id=4&op=do <br /> <font size='1'>...(entire page of HTML)
Can you tell me the best place to report this?
I had something like this
I had something like this earlier - does it work the second time? Would probably post it against the simpletest component (as a critical bug).
Max execution time issue
I parsed the HTML, and it turns out to be a Max execution time exceeded error. Which brings up a couple of interesting issues, but there are probably better places for me to be talking about them.
Thanks.
Heh... ever since the
Heh... ever since the introduction of the registry, I've been forced to add "set_time_limit(0)" to my settings.php file for any Drupal instance I run on my slow local machine. ;)
Thanks
That did the trick. Although I am not sure if my test machine qualifies as slow (2 x 3Ghz CPUs, w/2G RAM), so this is probably hitting most people that try and test. Maybe that function should be called whenever the test suite is run?
Anyway, my results mirror catch's, except I also get
