[swift-dev] What's the best way to handle failing SourceKit tests?

[Argyrios Kyrtzidis]

Confirm that the source text printed out at the beginning is as you expect. It is highly unlikely your changes caused something wrong with the offsets, so if the source text is fine it should be good to update the expected output.
If the offsets changed without the source text changing, then we have an issue with the offsets.

I could just make the test pass by increasing the offsets as shown in the test failure, I'm worried that this could end up creating an invalid test case, which in the worst case could hide SourceKit problems in the future.
