Assert.fail() cannot be surrounded with a try-catch block which catches a general Throwable ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBJCA-1008 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBJCA-1008 Project: IronJacamar Issue Type: Bug Components: Test suite Affects Versions: 1.0.15.Final, 1.1.0.Beta4 Reporter: Ivo Studensky Assignee: Ivo Studensky Fix For: 1.0.16.Final, 1.1.0.Beta5 In IJ test suite there are occurrences of Assert.fail(String) surrounding with a try-catch block that catches a general Throwable. This effectively means that AssertionError produced by Assert.fail() is eaten by the following catch clause, usually quietly. And then such a test passes instead of it fails.
