Mockito How to mock and assert a thrown exception?

Question

I\'m using mockito in a junit test. How do you make an exception happen and then assert that it has (generic pseudo-code)

Answer 1

To answer your second question first. If you're using JUnit 4, you can annotate your test with

@Test(expected=MyException.class)

to assert that an exception has occured. And to "mock" an exception with mockito, use

when(myMock.doSomething()).thenThrow(new MyException());
