[Flow] Best way to test protected method

[Aimo Kuenkel]

If there's a bug in a protected method, then there will be a public method using it, hence having that bug, too.
In the end (as i understand the 'normal' way of unit testing) it's only a bug if some functionality that you can use from the outside is having that bug (please correct me here if i'm wrong).
If no public method is "inheriting" that bug, it's either not a bug, or the protected method is unused and can be removed anyways.

Can you share the method so we don't misunderstand?

Regards,

Aimo

Well, the contributions doc says that I need to add a unit test to a bugfix, and the bugfix is in a protected method.

Am I supposed to leave it as it is?
