Would like `should produce` to show message of wrong exception.

[Martin Pärtel]

Hi,

A small feature request: given `evaluating { foo } should produce [SomeException]`, if foo throws something other than SomeException, I'd like to see the exception's message, not just its type.

Also, `should produce` should probably pass through a `org.scalatest.TestFailedException`.

Hi Martin,

That's a good suggestion. Same should happen for intercept. I'll try
and add that to the upcoming 1.8 release.

Thanks.

Bill

Excellent. Thanks!

Hi Martin,

The problem here was actually that I wasn't including the thrown
exception as the TestFailedException's cause when using the
"eventually ... should produce" syntax. This is what I had been doing
in intercept all along. The current 1.8-SNAPSHOT fixes this. Please
give the new 1.8-SNAPSHOT a try and let me know if this works for you.

Thanks.
