I should have known that it was too good to be true that all the tests up to the N's were succeeding. I was a little suspicious, but who likes to question positive results.
What I wasn't remembering was that TestRunner reports errors at the end, not after each test. And I was never getting to the end because I'd get an unhandled exception (i.e. crash).
When I'd hit an unhandled exception I'd run that individual test by itself so once I fixed the exception I'd see the errors caught by TestRunner and I'd fix those, generally by implementing missing methods.
So the tests weren't succeeding up to the N's, they just weren't crashing. When I realized this, and specified that TestRunner should stop on the first failing test, I didn't even make it past the A's :-(
Oh well, there was nothing wrong with fixing the crashes first. I'm just nowhere near as far along in the process as I over-optimistically thought.
Back to slogging :-)
