[Wtr-general] <nil> is not true with assert(ie.contains_text)

[Charley Baker]

That's because you're swallowing the exception in your rescue clause. You
want it to be raised and caught by Test::Unit so that it can see it for
reporting. You need to either  get rid of the rescue and ensure blocks or
rethrow the  exception (in which case you might want to wrap the original
exception).

    raise Test::Unit::AssertionFailedError,
      "in my testcase: #{e.message}",
      e.backtrace
