/** Response to: http://owensd.io/2015/06/22/catching-errors-for-testing-or-enums-suck.html After seeing the new features introduced in Xcode 7 beta 2, it seemed that it should be possible to take David's 4th option one step further. This allows writing assertions that look exactly as David wishes. The only requirement is that any types used as associated values on an error enum have to adopt the `DefaultConstructible` protocol to allow for an instance of the enum case to be created. **/ import XCTest ///// Error types and test function enum MyErrors : ErrorType { case Basic case MoreInfo(title: String, description: String) } struct MyBasicError : ErrorType { let _code: Int let _domain: String } struct MoreInfoError : ErrorType { let _code: Int let _domain: String let title: String let description: String } func f(value: Int) throws { switch value { case 0: throw MyErrors.Basic case 1: throw MyErrors.MoreInfo(title: "A title?", description: "1s are bad, k?") case 2: throw MyBasicError(_code: 0, _domain: "my.error") case 3: throw MoreInfoError(_code: 0, _domain: "my.error", title: "A title?", description: "3s are bad, k?") default: break } } ///// Assertions // Underlying implementations, from David's blog posts func _XCTAssertThrowsErrorOfType(@autoclosure expression: () throws -> (), type: MirrorType, message: String = "", file: String = __FILE__, line: UInt = __LINE__) { do { try expression() XCTFail(message, file: file, line: line) } catch { if reflect(error).summary != type.summary { XCTFail(type.summary, file: file, line: line) } } } func XCTAssertDoesNotThrow(@autoclosure expression: () throws -> (), message: String = "", file: String = __FILE__, line: UInt = __LINE__) { do { try expression() } catch { XCTFail(message, file: file, line: line) } } // Form A: For enum cases with no associated values func XCTAssertThrowsErrorOfType(@autoclosure expression: () throws -> (), type: T, message: String = "", file: String = __FILE__, line: UInt = __LINE__) { _XCTAssertThrowsErrorOfType(expression, type: reflect(type), message: message, file: file, line: line) } // Form B: For enum cases with associated values func XCTAssertThrowsErrorOfType(@autoclosure expression: () throws -> (), type: ((T) -> U), message: String = "", file: String = __FILE__, line: UInt = __LINE__) { _XCTAssertThrowsErrorOfType(expression, type: reflect(type(T())), message: message, file: file, line: line) } func XCTAssertThrowsErrorOfType(@autoclosure expression: () throws -> (), type: ((T, U) -> V), message: String = "", file: String = __FILE__, line: UInt = __LINE__) { _XCTAssertThrowsErrorOfType(expression, type: reflect(type(T(), U())), message: message, file: file, line: line) } // Add implementations with additional arguments as needed... // Form C: For structs func XCTAssertThrowsErrorOfType(@autoclosure expression: () throws -> (), type: Any.Type, message: String = "", file: String = __FILE__, line: UInt = __LINE__) { _XCTAssertThrowsErrorOfType(expression, type: reflect(type), message: message, file: file, line: line) } // Required by Form B.
