Yes, you want to teach students early that test cases succeed silently and fail 
noisily. The behavior is consistent across def and int area.

[racket-dev] Minor inconsistency in stepper interface: which way would be right?

2012-07-26 Thread John Clements 
Right now, the stepper and the ordinary interactions window disagree in one 
minor detail (well, one that I know about…): In the stepper, test cases (e.g. 
(check-expect (+ 3 4) 7)) reduce to a boolean, and leave a printed boolean 
value in the list of results. In the interactions window, though, nothing is 
printed for a completed test case.  This seems like a minor point, but is the 
Interactions window behavior the right one?
