Expected exception messages

[Daniel R.]

I have seen this discussion before and Cedric has mentioned that this
could be an enhancement. We are starting to need to expect exceptions
with a particular message (in addition to an exception type), which
could be specified as a regular expression. As it stands now, for some
tests we won't be able to use the expectedExceptions feature due to
this limitation and go back to try/catch.

So is there any road map for this enhancement? Should I file a Jira?

Thanks

Hi Daniel,

This was implemented in 5.10:

@Test(expectedExceptions = FooException.class, expectedExceptionsMessageRegExp = ".*error.*")

Note that the behavior is undefined if you use more than one exception (which the expectedExceptions attribute allows).
