如何测试未来的异常

从昨天的问题继续,我将如何测试异步方法抛出异常。

main(){
  test( "test2", () async {
    expect( await throws(), throwsException);
  });

}

Future throws () async {
  throw new FormatException("hello");
}

使用try-catch

最可靠的方法是使用 try-catch 块来显式捕获异常并确保方法已完成运行。

try {
    await methodWhichThrows();
    fail("exception not thrown");
} catch (e) {
    expect(e, new isInstanceOf<...>());
    // more expect statements can go here
}

这种方法还有一个优点,即可以对异常值进行额外的检查。

使用throwsA的预期仅作为最后一个声明

使用 expect 仅在测试中是 last 语句时才有效。当方法抛出异常时,无法控制,因此可能存在与语句竞争的条件(包括后续调用 expect ),如果他们认为异常有已被抛出。

expect(methodWhichThrows(), throwsA(new isInstanceOf<...>())); // unreliable unless last

可以使用它,但你必须非常小心地记住它在哪种情况下工作,哪些情况不适用。因此,坚持使用 try-catch 方法更安全,而不是针对不同情况使用不同的方法。

<强>示范

以下完整示例演示了竞争条件对两种方法的影响:

import 'dart:async';
import 'package:test/test.dart';

//----------------------------------------------------------------
/// This approach to expecting exceptions is reliable.
///
Future reliableApproach(int luck) async {
  expect(await setValueAndReturnsHalf(42), equals(21));
  expect(state, equals(Evenness.isEven));

  try {
    await setValueAndReturnsHalf(3);
    fail("exception not thrown");
  } catch (e) {
    expect(e, new isInstanceOf<ArgumentError>());
  }

  // Expect value to be odd after execption is thrown.

  await shortDelay(luck); // in my experience there's no such thing called luck
  expect(state, equals(Evenness.isOdd));
}

//----------------------------------------------------------------
/// This approach to expecting exceptions is unreliable.
///
Future unreliableApproach(int luck) async {
  expect(await setValueAndReturnsHalf(42), equals(21));
  expect(state, equals(Evenness.isEven));

  expect(setValueAndReturnsHalf(3), throwsA(new isInstanceOf<ArgumentError>()));

  // Expect value to be odd after execption is thrown.

  await shortDelay(luck); // luck determines if the race condition is triggered
  expect(state, equals(Evenness.isOdd));
}

//----------------------------------------------------------------

enum Evenness { isEven, isOdd, inLimbo }

int value = 0;
Evenness state = Evenness.isEven;

/// Sets the [value] and [state].
///
/// If the [newValue] is even, [state] is set to [Evenness.isEven] and half of it
/// is returned as the Future's value.
///
/// If the [newValue] is odd, [state] is set to [Evenness.isOdd] and an exception
/// is thrown.
///
/// To simulate race conditions, this method takes 2 seconds before it starts
/// processing and 4 seconds to succeed or throw an exception. While it is
/// processing, the [state] is set to [Evenness.inLimbo].
///
Future<int> setValueAndReturnsHalf(int newValue) async {
  await shortDelay(2);

  state = Evenness.inLimbo;

  await shortDelay(2);

  value = newValue;

  if (newValue % 2 != 0) {
    state = Evenness.isOdd;
    throw new ArgumentError.value(newValue, "value", "is not an even number");
  } else {
    state = Evenness.isEven;
    return value ~/ 2;
  }
}

/// Delays used to simulate processing and race conditions.
///
Future shortDelay(int seconds) {
  var c = new Completer();
  new Timer(new Duration(seconds: seconds), () => c.complete());
  return c.future;
}

/// Examples of the reliable and unreliable approaches.
///
void main() {
  test("Correct operation when exception is not thrown", () async {
    expect(await setValueAndReturnsHalf(42), equals(21));
    expect(value, equals(42));
  });

  group("Reliable approach:", () {
    test("works when there is bad luck", () async {
      // 1 second = bad luck, future returning function not started processing yet
      await reliableApproach(1);
    });

    test("works when there is more bad luck", () async {
      // 3 second = bad luck, future returning function still processing
      await reliableApproach(3);
    });

    test("works when there is good luck", () async {
      // 5 seconds = good luck, future returning function definitely finished
      await reliableApproach(5);
    });
  });

  group("Unreliable approach:", () {
    test("race condition encountered by bad luck", () async {
      // 1 second = bad luck, future returning function not started processing yet
      await unreliableApproach(1);
    });

    test("race condition encountered by more bad luck", () async {
      // 3 second = bad luck, future returning function still processing
      await unreliableApproach(3);
    });

    test("race condition avoided by good luck", () async {
      // 5 seconds = good luck, future returning function definitely finished
      await unreliableApproach(5);
    });
  });
}

答案 1 :(得分:2)

这种方式有效:

import 'package:test/test.dart';
import 'dart:async';

void main() {
  test( "test2", ()  { // with or without `async`
    expect(throws(), throwsA(const TypeMatcher<FormatException>()));
  });
}

Future throws () async {
  throw new FormatException("hello");
}

基本上只需删除await即可。无论成功还是失败,测试框架都可以处理期货。

答案 2 :(得分:1)

有多种方法可以测试来自Future的错误。如果没有异步的话,Gunter的回答将起作用#34;方法是抛出一些异常。下面的示例将处理来自未来方法的异常。

import 'package:test/test.dart';
import 'dart:async';

void main() {
    test("test with Zone", () {
        runZoned(() {
            throws();
        }, onError: expectAsync((e, s) {
            expect(e, new isInstanceOf<FormatException>());
        }));
    });

    test('test with future catch error', () {
        throws().catchError(expectAsync((e) {
            expect(e, new isInstanceOf<FormatException>());
        }));
    });
}

Future throws() async{
    Completer completer = new Completer();
    completer.complete(new Future(() => throw new FormatException("hello")));
    return completer.future;
}

答案 3 :(得分:0)

最简单,最简短的答案是:

expect(throws(), throwsException)

要测试异常/错误类型:

expect(throws(), throwsA(predicate((e) => e is MyException)));

答案 4 :(得分:0)

经过多次尝试和错误后,我发现这个可以正常工作:

  test('fetch SHOULD throw exception WHEN api fail with exception', () {
      when(clientMock.get(uri)).thenAnswer((_) async => throw Exception());

      expect(() => sut.fetch(), throwsA(isInstanceOf<Exception>()));

});
