Thank you for updating the commit message. […]
It's a minor change so I don't want to block this. But generally this change is completely wrong. It's wrong to adapt code instead of a test when there is nothing wrong per-se with the code. Especially when the test tool can't be told what to expect. Also, that this is designing upstream code by a downstream (IMHO broken) tool raises further questions: What if somebody else has a downstream tool that checks for ERROR in case they test the absence of the controller?
This change is wrong and the reasoning rather arrogant.
