I am having trouble in where to throw the exception. The exception will be
thrown in "When" and not "Then" as shown below:
Scenario Outline: Throw exception if the number is negative
Given I have a negative number
When I pass the negative <n_number> to the prime service
Then the service should throw exception
*Steps: *
Given /I have a negative number/ do
end
When "I pass the negative $n_number to the prime service" do |n_number|
{...@primeservice.isprime(n_number.to_i)}.should raise_error
end
Then /the service should throw exception/ do
end
*The above throws the following exception: *
