Question

I have the following test:

@Test(expected=ArithmeticException.class) 
   public void divideByZero() {
   int n = 2 / 1;
}

as seen here.

I would like to add a message that will print if this test fails.

For instance if I was doing an Assertion test, I would do the following to add a message:

@Test public void assertFail(){
    Assert.fail("This is the error message I want printed.");
    Assert.assertEquals(true, false);
}

The second example should print out “This is the error message I want printed.”. How do I set the first example message text?

I don’t think you can easily, but this guy seems to have partially worked his way around it.
