PHPUnit Exception Assertions
============================

[](#phpunit-exception-assertions)

Trait containing assertions for easier testing of thrown (or not thrown) exceptions.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev devlop/phpunit-exception-assertions
```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Include the trait to get access to the assertions.

```
use Devlop\PHPUnit\ExceptionAssertions;

class YourTest extends TestCase
{
    use ExceptionAssertions;
}
```

Available Assertions
====================

[](#available-assertions)

assertExceptionThrown
---------------------

[](#assertexceptionthrown)

Asserts that a specific exception was thrown during the execution of the callback, if the callback finishes without the exception being thrown, the assertion fails.

To check for any exception, use `\Throwable::class` as first argument since all exceptions inherits from [`\Throwable`](https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.throwable.php).

```
$this->assertExceptionThrown(\InvalidArgumentException::class, function () : void {
    // code that should throw the expected exception
});
```

assertExceptionNotThrown
------------------------

[](#assertexceptionnotthrown)

Asserts that a specific exception was not thrown during the execution of the callback, if the specified exception was thrown during execution the assertion fails.

**use with caution** - this will only assert that a specific exception was not thrown and the assertion will pass for any other exceptions thrown, intentional or accidental. In most cases it is probably better to `assertNoExceptionsThrown` instead.

```
$this->assertExceptionNotThrown(\InvalidArgumentException::class, function () : void {
    // code that should not throw the exception
});
```

assertNoExceptionsThrown
------------------------

[](#assertnoexceptionsthrown)

Asserts that no exceptions was thrown during the execution of the callback, if any exceptions was thrown during the execution the assertion fails.

```
$this->assertNoExceptionsThrown(function () : void {
    // code that should not throw any exceptions
});
```
