Re: Run TestFixtureTearDown even if TestFixtureSetupfails?

Hi Rocco.  Thanks for the reply.

The design pattern, of course, makes sense.  Reviewing my teardown
method, there are situations where a setup error could cause
exceptions to be thrown when attempting my cleanup (not what I want at
all).  I've instead wrapped my setup code in a try..finally block,
where I can test for setup success and state before doing any needed
cleanup.
