BUG: tests that can't fail
tm.equalContent does not raise an exception, it returns a Bool.  Therefore these tests need wrapping in self.assertTrue()

maybe better to make this `assertEqualContents` (e.g. rename and put the assert in `utils/testing.py`)
 does this have a specific issue associated?
 No, he just discovered it now while looking at the code
 @stephenpascoe can you update this?
 closing, but if you would like to continue working on this pls reopen
