How to use RSpec's should_raise with any kind of exception?

Question

I\'d like to do something like this:

some_method.should_raise 

How should I do this?

Answer 1

Instead of lambda, use expect to:

   expect { some_method }.to raise_error

This is applies for more recent versions of rspec, i.e. rspec 2.0 and up.

See the doco for more.
