Description
nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#6470 is an old PR that never landed but points to a valid issue.
The test case:
var assert = require('assert');
assert.doesNotThrow(function() {
throw new Error();
});
Prints the error stack but does not output an AssertionError.
However,
var assert = require('assert');
assert.doesNotThrow(function() {
throw new Error();
}, Error);
Raises an Assertion Error (AssertionError: Got unwanted exception (Error)..
var assert = require('assert');
assert.doesNotThrow(function() {
throw 'custom message';
});
And
var assert = require('assert');
assert.doesNotThrow(function() {
throw 'custom message';
}, 'custom message');
Both just output custom message
without raising the Assertion Error.
The solution submitted in nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#6470 should be investigated as a possible fix but possibly needs to be revisited.
