gotcha. I thought that's what you were talking about but wasn't certain.
coming from java, I remember being initially annoyed at cfcunit for how it
behaved, I guess because I was so used to adding a message into my
assertions, however brief. when i moved to cfunit, i just wrote an eclipse
snippet for the assertions I use, so I don't even think about the args
anymore.
But I can appreciate your point.
thanks.
