Personally, I don't care much for these type of negative assertions since there are an an infinite number of ways they can pass. Do you have a compelling use case in mind?

comment:3 by amatellanes, 10 years ago

Sorry, I was not thinking about a particular use case. I think each assertion should have a symmetric one assertX / assertNotX as most Python and Django assertions (i.e. assertTemplateUsed / assertTemplateNotUsed).

Resolution: → wontfix
Status: new → closed

Ok, well absent some argument for why adding this assertion will help make writing clearer tests, I don't think we should encourage writing tests this way. If someone wants to argue otherwise, please reopen.
