Liar not upset when being tested (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on trial

'being tested' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'liar not upset' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'liar'+'not'='liarnot'
'liarnot' with letters rearranged gives 'ON TRIAL'.

'when' is the link.

(Other definitions for on trial that I've seen before include "In court to answer charges" , "Undergo court proceedings - being tested" , "heard?" , "Undergoing court process" , "Facing action" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
