[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ARQ-1038) Unwrap EJBException

Craig Ringer created ARQ-1038: --------------------------------- Summary: Unwrap EJBException Key: ARQ-1038 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-1038 Project: Arquillian Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Base Implementation Affects Versions: 1.0.1.Final Environment: n/a Reporter: Craig Ringer Priority: Minor I'm often testing EJBs and am finding that the automatic wrapping of unchecked exceptions makes for rather verbose and noisy tests. I'd like to write: {code} @Test(expected=IllegalArgumentException.class) public void cannotGetNullId() { someEJB.getById(null); } {code} but it will fail because IllegalArgumentException is an unchecked exception so it'll get wrapped in an EJBException. That's OK if I don't mind accepting *all* EJBExceptions, but I'd usually prefer to be more specific. I frequently find myself writing verbose code to unwrap a thrown exception and test it manually: {code} public void cannotGetNullId() { try { someEJB.getById(null); } catch (EJBException ex) { if (ex.getCause() instanceof IllegalArgumentException) { return; } ex.printStackTrace(); Assert.fail("Unexpected exception: " +ex); } Assert.fail("Expected IllegalArgumentException"); } {code} It'd be wonderful if Arquillian were able to provide EJBException unwrapping to make this testing process less ... icky. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
