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。


当前回答

我们可以在必须返回异常的方法之后使用断言失败:

try{
   methodThatThrowMyException();
   Assert.fail("MyException is not thrown !");
} catch (final Exception exception) {
   // Verify if the thrown exception is instance of MyException, otherwise throws an assert failure
   assertTrue(exception instanceof MyException, "An exception other than MyException is thrown !");
   // In case of verifying the error message
   MyException myException = (MyException) exception;
   assertEquals("EXPECTED ERROR MESSAGE", myException.getMessage());
}

其他回答

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。

我会使用assertThatTownBy

@Test
public void testFooThrowsIndexOutOfBoundsException() {
  assertThatThrownBy(() -> doStuff()).isInstanceOf(IndexOutOfBoundsException.class)
}

有两种编写测试用例的方法

使用方法引发的异常来注释测试。类似于@Test(预期=IndexOutOfBoundsException.class)您可以使用try-catch块在测试类中捕获异常,并对从测试类中的方法抛出的消息进行断言。尝试{}catch(从方法e抛出的异常){assertEquals(“message”,即getmessage());}

我希望这能回答你的问题快乐学习。。。

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
