> This comes from [Romain's suggestion|https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11502/files/2a8a139b727acb13019da6176444578ead6bf208#r735351673] to transform the test that rely on capturing a string by using a snapshot test (added in {{testthat}}'s 3rd edition). 
> A test like:
> {code:r}
> expect_error(expression, message)
> {code}
> becomes
> {code:r}
> expect_snapshot({
>   (expect_error(expression))
> })
> {code}
> This is probably a more general improvement we can make to our unit tests (i.e. to make more extensive use of the snapshot functionality), but I thought I'd focus on one test file to begin with.
