Subject: [ruby-talk:24706] assert_exception_and_message

Hi,

I didn't find a way in RubyUnit to check both an exception and its error
message. Maybe its there somewhere. If not here's one version:

  def assert_exception_and_message(exception, eMessage, message = "")
    exception_raised = true
    begin
      yield
      exception_raised = false
    rescue Exception => e
      raise e unless exception === e
      assert_equals(eMessage, e.message)
    end
    assert(exception_raised, message)
  end

Its not perfect but can easily be fixed. If something similar is not in
Lapidary I'd propose its added to the merged Test::Unit.

Regards,

Robert
