Why won't this Expect Exception Junit Test Work?

Question

This is my test so far:

@Test(expected = FileNotFoundException.class)
public void testExpectedException() {
    UserDataObject u = new UserDataObject(\"rob123\",         


        

Answer 1

The issue is that your verifyUser(UserDataObject u, String filename) method catches both exceptions FileNotFoundException and IOException and hence it is not propagated to your test method.
