> Hello Brian, I'm late to this discussion. I think there are a couple of more places in this code which need attention. The private `File` constructor which has this `assert` gets invoked from 3 different `File.listFiles()` methods. One of them has now been fixed in this PR. However, 2 other `listFiles()` methods continue to exhibit this issue.

@bplb Can you check the test coverage again? Its important that EmptyTest exercises every method.
