#### Matching exceptions
|
||||
|
||||
Catch2 provides a utility macro for asserting that an expression
|
||||
throws exception of specific type, and that the exception has desired
|
||||
properties. The macro is `REQUIRE_THROWS_MATCHES(expr, ExceptionType, Matcher)`.
|
||||
Because exceptions are a bit special, Catch2 has a separate macro for them.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The basic form is
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
REQUIRE_THROWS_MATCHES(expr, ExceptionType, Matcher)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and it checks that the `expr` throws an exception, that exception is derived
|
||||
from the `ExceptionType` type, and then `Matcher::match` is called on
|
||||
the caught exception.
|
||||
|
||||
> `REQUIRE_THROWS_MATCHES` macro lives in `catch2/matchers/catch_matchers.hpp`
|
||||
|
||||
For one-off checks you can use the `Predicate` matcher above, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
Catch2 currently provides two matchers for exceptions.
|
||||
These are:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
REQUIRE_THROWS_MATCHES(parse(...),
|
||||
parse_error,
|
||||
Predicate<parse_error>([] (parse_error const& err) -> bool { return err.line() == 1; })
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
but if you intend to thoroughly test your error reporting, I recommend
|
||||
defining a specialized matcher.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Catch2 also provides 2 built-in matchers for checking the error message
|
||||
inside an exception (it must be derived from `std::exception`):
|
||||
* `Message(std::string message)`.
|
||||
* `MessageMatches(Matcher matcher)`.

Note that `DerivedException` in the example above has to derive from
|
||||
`std::exception` for the example to work.
