Subject: [ruby-talk:12754] assert_exception question

Okay, I'm reading along between several docs and now I'm confused ...
I've got a method which should raise an exception, and I want to test it
using runit.  Only I'm not understanding the assert_exception.  From Hugh
Sasse's Docs, I read that the syntax should be:

   assert_exception(exception, message="") {block}

Which I take to mean that I'm asserting that executing the {block} of code
will result in an exception of type 'exception' and a message with no
content.   This doesn't seem to be right though.  What am I missing?


thanks,
