Expected/Actual values in test runner

Question

Hey,
I've added public test functions to my classes like:
     [Test]
     public function basicTest():void
         Assert.assertEquals("Test is 5 == 5", 5, 5);
and a test suite takes this class as a variable.
[Suite]
    [RunWith("org.flexunit.runners.Suite")]   
    public class ModulesTestSuite {
        public var t1:MyClass;
I use this mxml to run the tests:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    creationComplete="runMe()" xmlns:flexUnitUIRunner="http://www.adobe.com/2009/flexUnitUIRunner"
    styleName="flexUnitApplication" >
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import org.flexunit.runner.notification.async.XMLListener;
            import org.flexunit.listeners.UIListener;
            import org.flexunit.runner.Request;
            import org.flexunit.runner.FlexUnitCore;
            private var core:FlexUnitCore;
            public function runMe():void {
                core = new FlexUnitCore();
                core.addListener( new UIListener( uiListener ));
                core.run(ModulesTestSuite);
But, when the test runner runs the tests, it categorized them as empty tests and shows blank for expected and actual values. Whereas clearly i've entered '5' for both. The tests complete successfully though.
Could you please elaborate on what are empty tests and how to pass expected value/ actual value data that will display in the test runner UI.
Thanks,
Prannay

This is mostly UI confusion right now. We are using the FlexUnit1 test runner during the alpha and beta and have not yet customized it well for our needs.
FlexUnit1 did assertion counting, meaning it knew how many times you made assertions in each method. Right now FlexUnit 4 does not do this, so it believes this test is empty because it doesn't know that you made an assertion.
This will be fixed in the next release bits, but for now, just look at failed tests or tests that succeeded and try to ignore the empty ones.
If you change your test to assert that 5 is equal to 6 ( and all is working right) I am guessing you will see a failure, which is just a way to prove all is running fine.
