在我的例子中，我总是从数据库中得到RuntimeException，但消息不同。需要分别处理异常。以下是我测试它的方法：

@Test
public void testThrowsExceptionWhenWrongSku() {

    // Given
    String articleSimpleSku = "999-999";
    int amountOfTransactions = 1;
    Exception exception = null;

    // When
    try {
        createNInboundTransactionsForSku(amountOfTransactions, articleSimpleSku);
    } catch (RuntimeException e) {
        exception = e;
    }

    // Then
    shouldValidateThrowsExceptionWithMessage(exception, MESSAGE_NON_EXISTENT_SKU);
}

private void shouldValidateThrowsExceptionWithMessage(final Exception e, final String message) {
    assertNotNull(e);
    assertTrue(e.getMessage().contains(message));
}

这样如何：捕获一个非常普通的异常，确保它从catch块中取出，然后断言该异常的类是您期望的。如果a）异常类型错误（例如，如果您使用了空指针），并且b）该异常从未被抛出，则该断言将失败。

public void testFooThrowsIndexOutOfBoundsException() {
  Throwable e = null;

  try {
    foo.doStuff();
  } catch (Throwable ex) {
    e = ex;
  }

  assertTrue(e instanceof IndexOutOfBoundsException);
}

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。

我在这里尝试了许多方法，但它们要么很复杂，要么不太符合我的要求。事实上，可以非常简单地编写一个助手方法：

public class ExceptionAssertions {
    public static void assertException(BlastContainer blastContainer ) {
        boolean caughtException = false;
        try {
            blastContainer.test();
        } catch( Exception e ) {
            caughtException = true;
        }
        if( !caughtException ) {
            throw new AssertionFailedError("exception expected to be thrown, but was not");
        }
    }
    public static interface BlastContainer {
        public void test() throws Exception;
    }
}

这样使用：

assertException(new BlastContainer() {
    @Override
    public void test() throws Exception {
        doSomethingThatShouldExceptHere();
    }
});

零依赖：无需mockito，无需powermock；在期末考试中表现很好。

JUnit 5解决方案

import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertThrows;

@Test
void testFooThrowsIndexOutOfBoundsException() {    
  IndexOutOfBoundsException exception = expectThrows(IndexOutOfBoundsException.class, foo::doStuff);
     
  assertEquals("some message", exception.getMessage());
}

关于JUnit 5的更多信息http://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#writing-测试断言

    @Test(expectedException=IndexOutOfBoundsException.class) 
    public void  testFooThrowsIndexOutOfBoundsException() throws Exception {
         doThrow(IndexOutOfBoundsException.class).when(foo).doStuff();  
         try {
             foo.doStuff(); 
            } catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
                       assertEquals(IndexOutOfBoundsException .class, ex.getCause().getClass());
                      throw e;

               }

    }

下面是检查方法是否抛出了正确异常的另一种方法。
