Hello,
While getting to know QUnit, I noticed that there is currently no way
to test for the occurrence of exceptions.
Looking at the QUnit source, it appears this might be an easy thing to
add:
http://gist.github.com/76340
That way one could write tests like so:
var expression, expected;
var L = ["foo", "bar", "baz"];
// should pass
expression = function() { return foo.bar; };
expected = "TypeError";
throwsEx(expression, expected, "invalid property access raises
TypeError exception");
// should fail
expression = function() { var foo = {}; return foo.bar; };
expected = "NoneError";
throwsEx(expression, expected, "property access raises NoneError
exception");
Note that I'm using closures to wrap around the expression which is
actually being tested.
Does this seem sensible?
I'd be happy to submit a patch on request.
