How not.toThrow

[robertj]

Hi,

how can I test for the absence of any exception.

I'd like to do something like this 

expect(function(){a.dontFail()}).not.toThrowException();

expect(function(){a.kaboom()}).toThrowException(ex);

thanks

best regards

Robert

Try this:

a.dontFail()

If it raises an exception, the test will fail, which is what you want.

Essentially, every statement in every program is wrapped in a
expect().not.toThrowException() :-)

Hi Alex,

yeah - obviously every statement is should in general not.throw anything ;-)

Its part of a paranoid testing strategy

Best
