JUnit test exception handling fail 2

Posted by Jens on May 09, 2011

I just found this peace of code in a big java project i’m working on:

  1. public void testSomething() throws IOException
  2. {
  3.     …
  4.  
  5.     catch (Exception e)
  6.     {
  7.         StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
  8.         e.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(sw));
  9.         fail(sw.toString());
  10.     }
  11. }

Wtf? I changed it to:

  1. public void testSomething() throws IOException
  2. {
  3.     …
  4.  
  5.     catch (Exception e)
  6.     {
  7.         fail(e.getMessage());
  8.     }
  9. }
