Tests don't have expect is valid?

[conao3]

Hi! I found the below test passed.

(describe "A suite"
  (it "contains a spec with an expectation"
    (eq t t)))

$ make test
cask exec buttercup -L .
Running 1 specs.

A suite
  contains a spec with an expectation (0.91ms)

Ran 1 specs, 0 failed, in 0.0 seconds.

So I have questions.

• The test is valid?
• I can use any lisp predicates?
• Its behavior is spec? (I can use forever?)

Any spec with no asserts (and no other errors) will be considered as PASSED. Note that

(describe "A suite"
  (it "contains a spec with an expectation"
    (eq t nil)))

should also pass.

• So while the test is valid, it is also kind of pointless.
• You can use more or less any emacs lisp code, but signals and exceptions will cause errors and/or failing cases. This is useful to call a set of functions and then use one or more asserts to validate the data.
• I see no reason why this will ever change.

Please close the issue if you feel this answer is enough.
