-----------------------------------------
Summary: Difference between junit3 and junit 4 shouldFail {...}
not described in docs
Key: GROOVY-7474
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7474
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Reporter: Dmitry Andreychuk
Priority: Trivial
Groovy language documentation chapter on junit4
([http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/documentation/#_junit_4]) states that
"shouldFail can be used the same way it can be used in a GroovyTestCase". In
fact junit4 version returns exception while junit3 returns message.
I've spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out why shouldFail in my code
returns an exception while documentation and tests say that it returns message.
It turned out that I was reading documentation for a wrong shouldFail. But I've
never thought that methods in GroovyTestCase and GroovyAssert may have
different signature or semantic. A small notice in documentation might help
others avoid this confusion. An example for junit 4 version would be nice too.
