Description

Adding checks to build are expected to cause the build to fail with a meaningful failure reason. However it looks like the method "Object.error" is redefined somewhere and thus when the check fails it results in an exception such as

"Buildr aborted!
ArgumentError : wrong # of arguments(1 for 0)"

An example build file exhibiting this failure:

define 'foo' do
  project.version = '1.0'
  project.group = 'foo'
  package :jar
  
  check package(:jar), 'should fail' do
    it.should contain('META-INF/MANIFEST.MF_not_exist')
  end
end
