We decided to revert the testutil change that made our util functions less error-prone, but created a lot of work for our downstream users. Apologies for the pain! This revert should not cause any major breaking change, even if you already did the work--unless you depend on the exact error message.
Going forward, we plan to reinforce our release testing strategy [1],[2] and deliver an enhanced testutil package/module with more flexible and safer APIs.
Thanks to @dashpole @dgrisonnet @kakkoyun @ArthurSens @vesari @logicalhan @krajorama @bwplotka who helped in this patch release! 🤗
