我如何使用Assert(或其他测试类)来验证在使用MSTest/Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting时抛出了异常?

好吧,我来总结一下大家之前说过的话…不管怎样,这是我根据好的答案构建的代码:)剩下要做的就是复制和使用…

/// <summary>
/// Checks to make sure that the input delegate throws a exception of type TException.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="TException">The type of exception expected.</typeparam>
/// <param name="methodToExecute">The method to execute to generate the exception.</param>
public static void AssertRaises<TException>(Action methodToExecute) where TException : System.Exception
{
    try
    {
        methodToExecute();
    }
    catch (TException) {
        return;
    }  
    catch (System.Exception ex)
    {
        Assert.Fail("Expected exception of type " + typeof(TException) + " but type of " + ex.GetType() + " was thrown instead.");
    }
    Assert.Fail("Expected exception of type " + typeof(TException) + " but no exception was thrown.");  
}

上面@Richiban提供的帮助器工作得很好,只是它不能处理抛出异常的情况,也不能处理预期的类型。以下说明:

using System;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;

namespace YourProject.Tests
{
    public static class MyAssert
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Helper for Asserting that a function throws an exception of a particular type.
        /// </summary>
        public static void Throws<T>( Action func ) where T : Exception
        {
            Exception exceptionOther = null;
            var exceptionThrown = false;
            try
            {
                func.Invoke();
            }
            catch ( T )
            {
                exceptionThrown = true;
            }
            catch (Exception e) {
                exceptionOther = e;
            }

            if ( !exceptionThrown )
            {
                if (exceptionOther != null) {
                    throw new AssertFailedException(
                        String.Format("An exception of type {0} was expected, but not thrown. Instead, an exception of type {1} was thrown.", typeof(T), exceptionOther.GetType()),
                        exceptionOther
                        );
                }

                throw new AssertFailedException(
                    String.Format("An exception of type {0} was expected, but no exception was thrown.", typeof(T))
                    );
            }
        }
    }
}

FluentAssertions例子

为那些使用该库的用户添加一个使用FluentAssertions的示例。

// act
Action result = () => {
    sut.DoSomething();
};

// assert
result.Should().Throw<Exception>();

异步的例子

// act
Func<Task> result = async () => {
    await sut.DoSomethingAsync();
};

// assert
await result.Should().ThrowAsync<Exception>();

使用ExpectedException时要谨慎,因为它可能导致如下所示的几个陷阱:

在这里:

如果需要测试异常,有一些不太受欢迎的方法。您可以使用try{act/fail}catch{assert}方法,该方法对于除了ExpectedException之外不直接支持异常测试的框架非常有用。

更好的选择是使用xUnit。NET,这是一个非常现代的、前瞻性的、可扩展的单元测试框架,它已经从所有其他错误中吸取了教训,并进行了改进。Assert就是这样一种改进。它为断言异常提供了更好的语法。

你可以找到xUnit。NET在github: http://xunit.github.io/

如果你使用NUNIT,你可以这样做:

Assert.Throws<ExpectedException>(() => methodToTest());

也可以存储抛出的异常以便进一步验证:

ExpectedException ex = Assert.Throws<ExpectedException>(() => methodToTest());
Assert.AreEqual( "Expected message text.", ex.Message );
Assert.AreEqual( 5, ex.SomeNumber);
