Fixed #33348 -- Changed SimpleTestCase.assertFormError()/assertFormsetErrors() to take form/formset.

Instead of taking a response object and a context name for
the form/formset, the two methods now take the object directly.

+        not. Starting from Django 4.1, using ``errors=[]`` will only pass if
+        the field actually has no errors.
 
-    ``errors`` is an error string, or a list of error strings, that are
-    expected as a result of form validation.
+        Django 4.1 also changed the behavior of ``assertFormError()`` when a
+        field has multiple errors. In older versions, if a field had multiple
+        errors and you checked for only some of them, the test would pass.
+        Starting from Django 4.1, the error list must be an exact match to the
+        field's actual errors.
 
-.. method:: SimpleTestCase.assertFormsetError(response, formset, form_index, field, errors, msg_prefix='')
+    .. deprecated:: 4.1
+
+        Support for passing a response object and a form name to

+
+.. method:: SimpleTestCase.assertFormsetError(formset, form_index, field, errors, msg_prefix='')
 
     Asserts that the ``formset`` raises the provided list of errors when
     rendered.
 
-    ``response`` must be a response instance returned by the
-    :class:`test client <django.test.Response>`.
+    ``formset`` is a ``Formset`` instance. The formset must be bound but not
+    necessarily validated (``assertFormsetError()`` will automatically call the
+    ``full_clean()`` on the formset).
 
-    ``formset`` is the name the ``Formset`` instance was given in the template
-    context of the response.
+    ``form_index`` is the number of the form within the ``Formset`` (starting
+    from 0). Use ``form_index=None`` to check the formset's non-form errors,
+    i.e. the errors you get when calling ``formset.non_form_errors()``. In that
+    case you must also use ``field=None``.
 
-    ``form_index`` is the number of the form within the ``Formset``.  If
-    ``form_index`` has a value of ``None``, non-form errors (errors you can
-    access via ``formset.non_form_errors()``) will be checked.
+    ``field`` and ``errors`` have the same meaning as the parameters to
+    ``assertFormError()``.
 
-    ``field`` is the name of the field on the form to check. If ``field``
-    has a value of ``None``, non-field errors (errors you can access via
-    :meth:`form.non_field_errors() <django.forms.Form.non_field_errors>`) will
-    be checked.
+    .. deprecated:: 4.1
 
-    ``errors`` is an error string, or a list of error strings, that are
-    expected as a result of form validation.
+        Support for passing a response object and a formset name to
+        ``assertFormsetError()`` is deprecated and will be removed in Django
+        5.0. Use the formset instance directly instead.
