Why must I include the received files in my source control with ApprovalTest?

Question

I was reading the documentation of ApprovalTest - Getting Started.pdf (it's in the zip here) and the last thing it says under Approving The Result is "Note: you must include the received files in your source control."

This really confused me. Can someone explain why this is? Is this a typo that meant to say: "Note: you must include the approved files in your source control."?

Answer 1

Yes, you must include only approved files in your source control. Received files should be automaticaly deleted after execution, if there are no any differences with approved. If there are any differences, approvals tests do not pass.

Answer 2

Thanks for bringing this documentation error to our attention, we fixed the document. This is a typo - it should read 'approved files'.
