Summary	0005850: revise test cases that check for error messages
Description	Some test cases currently check that some error will occur. It does this by running the test suite with a modified config, and then checks if the test runner returns a non-zero result. This results in really confusing logs. We should have separate unit tests to check if wrong or missing config values are handled incorrectly. However, these shouldn't result into output where the test runner (!!) says that there was an error, but then the test case succeeds. I've disabled these tests for now.
Tags	No tags attached.

MS 2020-09-11 13:02 reporter ~0016964	This is overkill for the Python bank. We don't have such tests not even for components like the exchange, for example.
