Does Jasmine's toThrow matcher require the argument to be wrapped in an anonymous function?

Question

The documentation at https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki/Matchers includes the following:

expect(function(){fn();}).toThrow(e);

Answer 1

Sadly, it seems that if I need to test a function that takes parameters, then I will need to wrap it with a function.

I would rather have preferred,

expect(myTestFunction, arg1, arg2).toThrow();

But I am ok with explicitly doing

expect(function(){myTestFunction(arg1, arg2);}).toThrow("some error");

FYI note that we can also use regex match on error:

expect(function (){myTestFunction(arg1, arg2);}).toThrowError(/err/);
