> I thought the purpose of spy or mock is to reduce the need for test classes. The purpose of mocks (and, in _very rare_ cases, spies) is to make it easier for the test to control and observe the _collaborators_ of the thing you're testing. It's true that code I offered does create some noise. To make it more readable, move the noise into a helper method, and name the helper method to make its purpose in the test clear. So the body could do something like this: ``` function = cliFunctionThatThrows(theError); ``` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
