When working on #4687 I found some tests that should have failed after making changes, but didn't.
This is because some tests expected the Gradle job to fail, but didn't check the reason for the failure - so the test would be green even when it wasn't behaving correctly.
This PR adds failure message assertions when using
runDetektTaskAndExpectFailure
orrunTasksAndExpectFailure
where that was missing, and fixes a couple of tests that had problems in the specified build file that were found as a result.I considered adding a required string parameter to those two functions to ensure a message was always provided, which would be a way to avoid this in future, but that could be done separately if desired.
