Subject: [ruby-talk:03311] RubyUnit assert_raiseexception


Hi,

Is there a better way in RubyUnit to check that a method raises an
exception than doing:

    assert( begin
	      myPotentiallyExceptionRaisingMethod(arg)
	      false
	    rescue
	      true
	    end
	   )

?

If not I propose that assert_raisesexception() is added to RubyUnit. Or
have anyone found a better way to accomplish this?

Regards,

Robert
