JUnit Testing Exceptions [duplicate]

Answer 1

If your constructor is similar to this one:

public Example(String example) {
    if (example == null) {
        throw new NullPointerException();
    }
    //do fun things with valid example here
}

Then, when you run this JUnit test you will get a green bar:

@Test(expected = NullPointerException.class)
public void constructorShouldThrowNullPointerException() {
    Example example = new Example(null);
}
