Listeners can't get any info about expectedExceptions?

[jweiss]

Hi,

I am starting to use the "expectedExceptions" annotation to test (for
instance) invalid input to my application.

The problem I'm having is that I want something printed to stdout that
when I expect an exception and didn't get one, I want to see what
exception was expected. I have an implementation of IResultListener,
ISuiteListener that can print the throwable when in fact the test
passes with the expected exception, but I can't handle the case where
the test fails. TestNG just prints that it expected an exception, but
doesn't say which one(s).

Ah, it looks like the error message is okay when no exception is thrown:

Method test.tmp.A.f() should have thrown an exception of class java.lang.NumberFormatException

But when the wrong exception is thrown, it's not very verbose:

FAILED: f
java.lang.RuntimeException
    at test.tmp.A.f(A.java:37)

I agree that for the second case, the message should be "Expected NumberFormatException, but got RuntimeException".

Is this what you're asking?
