# Test::Unit::Assertion::Exception(3pm)

A assertion for raised exceptions

## NAME

Test::Unit::Assertion::Exception - A assertion for raised exceptions

## SYNOPSIS

```
    require Test::Unit::Assertion::Exception;
    my $assert_raised =
      Test::Unit::Assertion::Exception->new('MyException');
    # This should succeed
    $assert_eq->do_assertion(sub { MyException->throw() });
    # This should fail
    $assert_eq->do_assertion(sub { });
```

## DESCRIPTION

Although the SYNOPSIS shows how you'd use Test::Unit::Assertion::Exception directly, it is more sensibly used indirectly via `Test::Unit::Test::assert_raises()`, which instantiates a `"Test::Unit::Assertion::Exception"`.
