collect() silently ignore unexpected positional args?#545Conversation
Opening a PR for this because it is the easiest way to see if the added test still fails with latest sparta without creating an updated env locally. I would expect that `pevent.collect()` should throw if called positional arguments that are: * unexpected (i.e. the pevent wasn't defined to take any positional args) * mismatching type (as it looks like compilation doesn't catch this) - didn't commit the test I added for this in this commit * what other sanity checking is feasible? The test added in this PR shows that we can call `collect()` with positional args for events that haven't registered any positional args. Why? As it is, code in the wild has become quite confusing where positional args are being passed to `collect()` and silently ignored. I'm looking at how to propose improving this part of sparta but I wanted to start a discussion but first create a PR that will demonstrate that this behavior isn't considered a throwable conidtion in latest sparta.
