Hi Anthony,
It's an understandable sentiment. You have habits built from experience
doing test driven development, and it is frustrating when the tools
you're using get in the way of your habits.
I'd suggest to you, however, that the functionality you describe is not
"missing" from SUnit, so much as unnecessary. Bringing up a debugger
on the site of a failed assertion or an error is a very efficient way
to find and fix problems. It's even easier to deduce why the test
failed in a debugger, and you can fix it on the spot.
Happy testing.
Colin
