This answer specifically answer's my question
In Junit is there a way to make sure the code makes it past a certain point?
ex:
@Test(expect = SpecialException.class)
public void testMyCode() {
essentialMethodThatCantBeMockedThatMayThrowSpecialException()
// stuff
actualMethodIAmTestingAndWillAlsoThrowSpecialException()
}
The main purpose is that I am doing a major refactor and if I can outfit my existing tests with something like an expect x number of assertions. Then that would make sure that my tests throw exceptions for the correct reasons and not the wrong reasons.
A good example of something that does this is Qunit which has a expect(numberOfAssertions) which will fail the test if that many assertions are not called.
I have been looking a long time for something like this in JUnit but I can't find it.
