Please let me know if this is the way we want to present error messages, and I can modify some more matchers. In my opinion, it makes it much easier -- and faster -- to find errors. One caveat: I don't know how I can actually write tests that verify text displayed when failures. Can somebody help out? (I added tests in the bottom in and xdescribe() block so that the build wouldn't fail |

this looks fine to me, but i think all the relevant matchers should be consistent. do you mind updating them all to be the same? also i wouldn't worry about testing what message is shown since it won't really help much imo. |

For my taste, it's a lot of code and if statements. Perhaps somebody has suggestions to make it leaner and prettier? |
