Positive feedback in hidden tests?

Is there some way to give positive feedback in hidden tests in Cody coursework? I would like to not only give a hint when a test fails (e.g. via the error message in the assert function), but to also display a comment for tests which are passed and have not found a way to do this.
I understand that the idea behind hidden tests is that the students should not see the tests, but it would still be helpful for them to know what the tests check both in the cases of fail and pass.

In step 4 of the description of how to contribute problems in the Cody help page, the hidden test suite calls assert. If you have specified a message in your assert call (see the msg input on the documentation page) I expect it will show up in the test results.

Yes, a message is printed in the cases where the assertion fails, and then the test fails because the assertion fails. Maybe I was not totally clear in my question, but I would like a message printed also for tests that are passed to give students an indication of what is tested in that particular test.
