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

Or if your exception is thrown from the constructor of a class:

@Rule
public ExpectedException exception = ExpectedException.none();

@Test
public void myTest() {    

    exception.expect(MyException.class);
    CustomClass myClass= mock(CustomClass.class);
    doThrow(new MyException("constructor failed")).when(myClass);  

}
