From: Phlip Date: 2007-07-26T03:44:59+09:00 Subject: ANN: assert_raise_message Rubies: I don't like assert_raise because the first thing I wanted to check was the e.message was correct. So I wrote assert_raise_message, and wrote that up as a tutorial on how to use assert_raise in general: http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/07/assert_raise_on_ruby_dont_just.html AKA: http://tinyurl.com/23tlu5 assert_raise_message works great for test-firsting new assertions, because assertions should have comprehensive (and comprehensible) diagnostics. All new assertions should come with tests that they raise the correct messages. -- Phlip http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596510657/ ^ assert_xpath http://tinyurl.com/23tlu5 <-- assert_raise_message
