Function `std.exception.assertThrown`

Asserts that the given expression throws the given type of Throwable. The Throwable is caught and does not escape assertThrown. However, any other Throwables will escape, and if no Throwable of the given type is thrown, then an AssertError is thrown.

				(
				

				  lazy E expression,
				

				  string msg = null,
				

				  string file = __FILE__,
				

				  size_t line = __LINE__
				

				);

Parameters

Name	Description
T	The `Throwable` to test for.
expression	The expression to test.
msg	Optional message to output on test failure.
file	The file where the error occurred. Defaults to `__FILE__`.
line	The line where the error occurred. Defaults to `__LINE__`.

Throws

AssertError if the given Throwable is not thrown.

Example

import core.exception : AssertError;
import std.string;

assertThrown!StringException(enforce!StringException(false, "Error!"));

//Exception is the default.
assertThrown(enforce!StringException(false, "Error!"));

assert(collectExceptionMsg!AssertError(assertThrown!StringException(
           enforce!StringException(true, "Error!"))) ==
       `assertThrown failed: No StringException was thrown.`);
