Actual exception is hidden when doing must.throw('bla bla')

[koresar]

My assertion looks like this:

myObject.myFunction.must.throw(/the text I expect/);

If myFunction throws a different exception
(like TypeError: Cannot read property 'myProperty' of null)
the must.js hides it from me.

It would be beneficial to see the actual exception stack trace while debugging a test.

Hey!

Thanks for pointing this out and nudging me to do something about it! I've been annoyed by this too recently — just haven't dealt with it. :-)

I'll have to figure something out which would work well with test runners.

I've actually ended up doing a try-catch myself in tests to have more fine grained assertions on errors.
I'm still not particularly sure how to get test runners to print out nested exceptions like this.

var err
try { something() } catch (ex) { err = ex }
err.must.be.an.instanceof(Error)
err.code.must.equal(404)

Do you have any suggestions or should we just close this issue until we come up with a better idea?

Thanks!

Do whatever you think is reasonable, mate. :) As I'm not using your module. Sorry.

[moll]

Fair enough. Do check out the latest Promise support if you're into that sort of thing. ^_^
I'll close this issue for now until further ideas arise. Still, thanks!

Oh, I actually noticed you did propose a solution in https://github.com/moll/js-must/pull/7/files. Thanks!

Ha, I forgot. Sorry. :-)
