Test failings, Part II
Posted on October 27, 2005 by Scott Leberknight
A co-worker, when I showed him the ExceptionAssertionTemplate and ExceptionAssertionCallback, took one look and said, "Why don't you just catch the exception you are expecting, have your test throw Exception, and be done with it?" For example,
public void testFindNonExistentVisit() throws Exception {
try {
dao.findVisit(-9999L);
}
catch (HibernateObjectRetrievalFailureException ex) {}
}
Um, yeah, why wasn't I just doing that? It is simpler and less code. Thanks Andrew!
