Thanks for the answers Jeff, I'll explore these.
My use case is that we have developed a small suite of tests to verify
the functionality of the MbUnit tests we are using. Basically
verification tests to show that MbUnit will pass when appropriate and
will fail when appropriate. To simplify a testers life we want to take
all tests that fail, like:
[Test]
[ExpectedException(typeof (Exception))]
public void WillFailIfNoExceptionIsThrown()
{
}
And 'catch' the failure. This allows the test to actually pass, and
the test report itself will show 100% success. Currently anyone
looking at this report will see a mix of passes and failures. All the
failures are deliberate, but its cumbersome to verify each. The
thought is that if we have everything passing it will simplify the
verification process.
So as of right now all the tests pass except a few involving
ExpectedException and a Contract Verifiers. All others tests that
originally fail do a try/catch and catch the
AssertionFailureException. The Failure.Description property of the
exception is compared (via Assert.AreEqual) with a string of the
expected message.
