.throws feedback is not clear enough

[thoughtsunificator]

Please provide details about:

• What you're trying to do

Assuming:

• Node v23.1.0 (Linux)
• "ava": "^6.2.0" and
• no configuration
• the following test file:

import ava from "ava"

ava("KO", test => {
  test.throws(() => {
  })
})

• What happened

Running the test file (npm test) result in the following feedback:

  ✘ [fail]: KO
  ─

  KO

  foo.test.js:4

   3: ava("KO", test => {  
   4:   test.throws(() => {
   5:   })                 

  Function returned:

  undefined

  › file://foo.test.js:4:8

  ─

  1 test failed

• What you expected to happen

A more concise message explaining that the function should have thrown something.

Happy for a PR to tweak the “Function returned” copy. Perhaps “Function did not throw, instead returned”?

[thoughtsunificator]

I'd say something along the lines of "The following assertion was expecting an error to be thrown" ? Maybe specify which type of error also.

[novemberborn]

I wonder if that's a larger change across all assertions?
