It seems to me based on the documentation that assert.fail(message) should throw an exception for which the message property is just the message passed in. However, it's being set to whatever messaged is wrapped in single quotes and followed by undefined undefined.
The output of the above program is as follows:
{ [AssertionError: 'boom' undefined undefined]
name: 'AssertionError',
actual: 'boom',
expected: undefined,
operator: undefined,
message: '\'boom\' undefined undefined',
generatedMessage: true }
According to the documentation:
If message is provided only it will be used as the error message, the other arguments will be stored as properties on the thrown object.
