Ask for *testing.T instead of storing it
Storing *testing.T on test helper structs is problematic when subtests are used, because it is possible for nested tests to call Fatal on parent test, which incorrect terminates the parent test. For example func TestOuter(t *testing.T) { dut := NewDUT(t) t.Run("first test", func(t *testing.T) { dut.FallibleCall() }) t.Run("second test", func(t *testing.T) { dut.FallibleCall() } } In the example above, assuming `FallibleCall` calls `t.Fatal` on the `t` it holds, if `dut.FallibleCall` fails in "first test", it will call `Fatal` on the parent `t`, quitting `TestOuter`. This is not a behavior we want. PiperOrigin-RevId: 323350241
