This should not be changed. 1. caught should be a boolean and ok does a loose equal check. 2. The second argument would now be the error message and the third argument would be ignored.

IMO, this should definitely be changed, but not the way it is in this PR right now.

There are at least two options.

Since caught is initialized to false and only ever changed to true inside of code that is in this file, strictEqual() is unnecessary. So this should be fine:

assert.ok(caught, 'execSync should throw');

Alternatively, if you want to insist on strictEqual() for the type-checking aspect, that's fine but then the string literal third argument should be removed (and possibly moved to a comment above the call) because you care about whether the test failed because caught was false or caught was the string "true" instead of the boolean true, etc.

// execSync should throw
assert.strictEqual(caught, true);

I think either of these options are better than what's there now.
