2017-11-21 Thread Tim Mackinnon
I would agree that grey is better than red - but I personally think we’re being too pedantic on this - particularly when doing TDD and coding in the debugger. If I’m writing straight forward tests and like to see a red failure (either by deliberately returning false, or a subclass responsibility

2017-11-21 Thread Richard Sargent
