checking exceptions using data driven style?

[rakesh mailgroups]

Hi,

I'm trying to do something like this:

    def "check for known error cases"() {

        expect:

        factory.create(incomingData)

        UnableToParseRecordException e = thrown()

        e.message == errorMessage

        where:

        incomingData | errorMessage

        null         | "null passed in"

        []              | "no fields found"

    }

but I'm getting errors that you can only check exceptions in then blocks. Any work arounds?

Thanks

Rakesh

As the error message indicates, you have to use `when-then` instead of `expect` to test for exceptions:

when:
factory.create(incomingData)

then:

UnableToParseRecordException e = thrown()
e.message == errorMessage

Cheers,

Peter
