JUnit expected tag not working as expected

Question

I have the following test case in eclipse, using JUnit 4 which is refusing to pass. What could be wrong?

@Test(expected = IllegalArgumentExc         


        

Answer 1

Just ran this in IntelliJ using JUnit 4.4:

   @Test(expected = IllegalArgumentException.class)
   public void testExpected()
   {
       throw new IllegalArgumentException();
   }

Passes perfectly.

Rebuild your entire project and try again. There's something else that you're doing wrong. JUnit 4.4 is working as advertised.
