Deep Thoughts on SUnit

15 September 2011 4:19:27 PM

Joachim has some ideas for cleaning up the differences between assert:/should: and deny:/shouldnt: in SUnit. Since the latter messages take blocks (while the former take boolean expressions), he wants to add (or assume it's been added) #value to object and put all of the functionality in the first set of messages.

I recall many a debate over having #value in Object, and I know that it was removed from VisualWorks a few releases ago (although every project I've ever seen has added it back). Joachim's ideas seem reasonable to me; Simpler is usually better.
