During Installation, the Apex Tests are Failing

I'm developing a software package.  It's good to go and passes all tests when I package it as managed beta or released

 

Here's the error I'm seeing when I try to install this beta package into a sandbox in a different org  (or the released package into a non-sandbox in a different org)

 

enhancedcomponenttestsuite.testTestObject()

 

Apex Classes(XXXXX) (where XXXXX is the ID of the apex class: enhancedComponentTestSuite).

 

System.AssertException: Assertion Failed
(FormationLite)
External entry point

 

 

This isn't very informative is it?  In the test method testTestObject(), there are 40 System.assert calls.

 

Here's the crazy part though:  I commented out every single one, repackaged, and I still see this error when trying to install.  Is this error message lying to me?

 

I have no idea where to turn.  Can somebody please help me?  All I want is a meaningful error message.

Do your tests require that records be contained in the objects?  If so, when you install the package, they will obviously fail.

Well, I lied.  There were actually 41 System.assert calls.  The one that I overlooked was asserting that there were 3 records returned.  Duh.  Obviously there are no records in that table in the new org.

 

Thanks for taking a look!
