The assertion is in a catch block so err will be set. Whereas assert_no_erroris used to check err is unset 
(i.e. null). The line about 'produce a message that includesthe error message and code' seems like a 
copy/paste error in the documentation.
What you might want is assert_error, but the C docs for that advise 'If you want totest that err is set, but 
don't care what it's set to, just useg_assert (err != NULL)'
