Thank you, I appreciate that.

You're right, I'm correcting this right now.

This is something very annoying indeed and it forces you to be very
careful.
I haven't the answer to your question. I assume that SRFI-64 catches
the "Unbound variable" exception somehow and return #f which is the
value the test is coincidently waiting for… 
Changing the test to 

(test-error "empty password is not valid"
  #t
  (password-valid? ""))

Will pass :

$ guile -L . char-sets-test.scm 
;;; note: source file ./char-sets.scm
;;;       newer than compiled /home/jeko/.cache/guile/ccache/3.0-LE-8-
4.4/tmp/char-sets.scm.go
;;; note: auto-compilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0
;;;       or pass the --no-auto-compile argument to disable.
;;; compiling ./char-sets.scm
;;; compiled /home/jeko/.cache/guile/ccache/3.0-LE-8-4.4/tmp/char-
sets.scm.go
%%%% Starting test harness-char-sets  (Writing full log to "harness-
char-sets.log")
# of expected passes      1

This indicates an error is raised :

$ cat harness-char-sets.log 
%%%% Starting test harness-char-sets
Group begin: harness-char-sets
Test begin:
  test-name: "empty password is not valid"
  source-file: "char-sets-test.scm"
  source-line: 8
  source-form: (test-error "empty password is not valid" #t (password-
valid? ""))
Test end:
  result-kind: pass
  actual-error: (unbound-variable #f "Unbound variable: ~S" (password-
valid?) #f)
  expected-error: #t
Group end: harness-char-sets
# of expected passes      1

But I am a bad assumption-er so I should ask to the srfi-64 mailing
list haha. I'm wondering if Guile can return #unspecified ?

I will have a look at it, thank you for sharing. I think I will have a
look even to some of your repos. Haha !

> Thank you for your book!

Thank you for reading :-)

Cheers,
