Description
In a recent PR Felienne noticed something weird: a test that should fail actually succeeded. aa3f4d9
After debugging we figured out that:
When the same snippet and level is used across tests, the test runner would use a cached result from another run, reporting the wrong outcome.
Example:
In this PR we include not just the snippet and level but ALL of the arguments to the single_level_tester method. This way, if we expect an exception, it will result in a different hash.
