So...the only thing we change is the order in the parameters....the question is... do you condiser that changing the API ?
I think this is changing the API because the contract of the method changes. But, it's an important change and it has a limited impact:
- only error messages for non passing tests will be affecting
exactly
- there are few senders of this message
yes, I checked that too
- among the existing senders, a lot of them use the API the wrong way (which means there code will get fixed automatically when we update the API :-)).
exactly :) The other possibily is to forget about actual and expected and let the message be soemthing like 'Assertion failed: (' , actual asString , ') ~= (' , expected asString , ')' or 'Assertion failed: (' , expected asString , ') ~= (' , actual asString , ')' But still...I prefer the previous one changing the order :) --
