I'm using Catch to write unit tests and came across a problem where my test fails because an exception is thrown, even though I use REQUIRE_THROWS_AS
. This is my test:
SECTION("Get column index for inexistent name") {
REQUIRE_THROWS_AS(result->column_index("inexistent"), std::out_of_range);
}
And this is the exception I get on my console:
$ tests/unit_tests "Test Result"
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type std::out_of_range: Name not found.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
unit_tests is a Catch v1.5.8 host application.
Run with -? for options

Test Result
Query empty table
Get column index for inexistent name

due to a fatal error condition:
SIGABRT - Abort (abnormal termination) signal
===============================================================================
test cases: 1 | 1 failed
assertions: 8 | 7 passed | 1 failed
If I understand Catch this exception is exactly what I'm trying to catch right?
