Dynamic error messages often contain important information that depends on the context, e.g., which argument caused an ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE, which type was expected, and which type was received. I don't think that internal breakage when changing a dynamic error message should prevent us from testing such properties properly.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This whole section seems somewhat outdated. We do not check for any new errors in test/parallel/test-internal-errors.js. Instead, those are tested by checking the actual codes error condition. The basic functionality is tested internally with special test errors. I suggest to replace this section therefore with a note that new error codes should be tested by code that triggers those.

ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE, which type was expected, and which type was received. I don't think that internal breakage when changing a dynamic error message should prevent us from testing such properties properly. (Not to test the error message, but rather the API that uses the error code.)Checklist
