I am trying to use nunits new way of exception handling but I am finding it hard to find information on it and how to also use it with moq.
I have right now moq that throws a exception on a mocked method but I don't know how to use nunit to catch it and look at it.
There's a few different ways to do it; I use Assert.Throws.
var exception = Assert.Throws<YourTypeOfException>(()=> Action goes here);
e.g.
var exception = Assert
.Throws<ArgumentNullException>(()=> new ChimpPuncher(null));
You can then query the exception object further if you want, e.g.
Assert.That(exception.Message, Text.Contains("paramname");
Best way to mention is: [ExpectedException(typeof(ApplicationException))]
above the test method.
Why can't you enclose the mocked method call in a try/catch block and catch the specific exception being thrown?
