This seems an awful lot of effort to put in just to avoid a variable string being printed. Is there really anything we get out of having those strings printed in the first place? Would it be better to just remove them?
They are absolutely necessary to figure out why the test failed.
shlexec.c:2507: Test failed: ShellExecuteEx(mask="0x8540", file="C:\Users\winetest\AppData\Local\Temp\wtDDDD.tmp\test file.sde") ^^^
This here is the file ShellExecute() is trying to open. What ShellExecute() does is driven in large part by that file's extension.
topic="dde" ddeExec expected '[open("C:\Users\winetest\AppData\Local\Temp\wtDDDD.tmp\test file.sde")]', got ''
And I don't know much about DDE, but I guess this is the path our DDE server should have received. I guess for this one we could write somethig like 'unexpectedly got an empty string', but of course this would not work if the string is not empty and not what we expect.
