macbacon - testing exceptions

[Nicholas Pachulski]

Does anyone know why the following:

  it "catches divide by zero exceptions" do

    lambda{ 1 / 0 }.should.not.raise(ZeroDivisionError)

  end

errors out of the test suite like so:

- catches divide by zero exceptions2015-05-27 19:42:47.349 mlp[93936:405506] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'ZeroDivisionError', reason: 'spec.rb:753:in `satisfy:':

 divided by 0 (ZeroDivisionError)

followed by a stack trace rather than catching the error, logging it as a test failure?

Likewise, if I expect a block not to raise an error and it does, the test suite errors out with a stack trace. I wouldn't think that's the intended behavior.

Anyone have any insight? Thanks,

Nick
