to bail out of the test case if the appropriate conditions are not satisfied to
complete the test.
+Customizing error messages
+--------------------------
+
+Each of the ``KUNIT_EXPECT`` and ``KUNIT_ASSERT`` macros have a ``_MSG``
+variant. These take a format string and arguments to provide additional
+context to the automatically generated error messages.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ char some_str[41];
+ generate_sha1_hex_string(some_str);
+
+ /* Before. Not easy to tell why the test failed. */
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, strlen(some_str), 40);
+
+ /* After. Now we see the offending string. */
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ_MSG(test, strlen(some_str), 40, "some_str='%s'", some_str);
+
+Alternatively, one can take full control over the error message by using
+``KUNIT_FAIL()``, e.g.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* Before */
+ KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, some_setup_function(), 0);
+
+ /* After: full control over the failure message. */
+ if (some_setup_function())
+ KUNIT_FAIL(test, "Failed to setup thing for testing");
+

-Exiting Early on Failed Expectations
-------------------------------------
-
-We can use ``KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ`` to mark the test as failed and continue
-execution. In some cases, it is unsafe to continue. We can use the
-``KUNIT_ASSERT`` variant to exit on failure.
-
-.. code-block:: c
-
- void example_test_user_alloc_function(struct kunit *test)
- {
- void *object = alloc_some_object_for_me();
-
- /* Make sure we got a valid pointer back. */
- KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_ERR_OR_NULL(test, object);
- do_something_with_object(object);
- }
