Subject: [ruby-core:44643] [ruby-trunk - Feature #3219] assert now passes non-boolean result


Issue #3219 has been updated by fxn (Xavier Noria).


In my view those are a kind of predicates that deserve to be tested using a straightforward assertion call. They are common, for example

    # Says whether there's a user in the session.
    def logged_in?
      @current_user
    end

or

    # Says whether the request is Ajax.
    def xml_http_request?
      @env['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'] =~ /XMLHttpRequest/i
    end

etc.

 Hi,
 
 Test::Unit::Assertions#assert now passes non-boolean values
 (neither true nor false).
 
 It is not only an incompatibility against former TestUnit, also
 makes wrong tests (e.g., [ruby-core:29861]) passing.
