<br>
I have a function that may call "error" if the input represents a bug<br>
in my program. (Think something like PositiveInt -1; this should never<br>
happen so Maybe or Either are not applicable.)<br>
<br>
f :: Whatever<br>
f = error "This should never happen."<br>
<br>
spec :: Spec<br>
spec =<br>
describe "f" $<br>
it "error" $<br>
return f `shouldThrow` anyErrorCall<br>
<br>
The above does not work, I get "did not get expected exception:<br>
ErrorCall". Using "anyException" doesn't work either.<br>
<br>
How can I write a test for this? And (assuming I can get the test to<br>
work), how do I check that the error message is indeed what I expect?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Hilco<br>
