如何使用JUnit来测试某些代码是否抛出异常?
我当然可以这样做:
@Test
public void testFooThrowsIndexOutOfBoundsException() {
boolean thrown = false;
try {
foo.doStuff();
} catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
thrown = true;
}
assertTrue(thrown);
}
我记得,对于这类情况,有一个注释或Assert.xyz之类的东西远没有JUnit那么笨拙,更符合JUnit的精神。
IMHO,在JUnit中检查异常的最佳方法是try/catch/fail/assert模式:
// this try block should be as small as possible,
// as you want to make sure you only catch exceptions from your code
try {
sut.doThing();
fail(); // fail if this does not throw any exception
} catch(MyException e) { // only catch the exception you expect,
// otherwise you may catch an exception for a dependency unexpectedly
// a strong assertion on the message,
// in case the exception comes from anywhere an unexpected line of code,
// especially important if your checking IllegalArgumentExceptions
assertEquals("the message I get", e.getMessage());
}
assertTrue对某些人来说可能有点强,所以assertThat(例如getMessage(),containsString(“消息”);可能更可取。
编辑:现在JUnit 5和JUnit 4.13已经发布,最好的选择是使用Assertions.assertThrows()(针对JUnit 5)和Assertions.AssertThrow()(对于JUnit 4.13+)。有关详细信息,请参阅我的其他答案。
如果您尚未迁移到JUnit 5,但可以使用JUnit 4.7,则可以使用ExpectedException规则:
public class FooTest {
@Rule
public final ExpectedException exception = ExpectedException.none();
@Test
public void doStuffThrowsIndexOutOfBoundsException() {
Foo foo = new Foo();
exception.expect(IndexOutOfBoundsException.class);
foo.doStuff();
}
}
这比@Test(预期=IndexOutOfBoundsException.class)好得多,因为如果在foo.doStuff()之前抛出IndexOutofBoundsExcept,测试将失败
