In my unit test I have the following code that checks whether thrown error is of expected type. It is done with two identical statements one of which doesn't compile:
enum Error: ErrorType {
case SomeExpectedError
case SomeUnexpectedError
}
func functionThatThrows() throws {
throw Error.SomeExpectedError
}
// 1) this compiles fine
XCTAssertThrowsError(try functionThatThrows()) { (error) in
switch error {
case Error.SomeExpectedError: break
//everything is fine
case Error.SomeUnexpectedError: fallthrough
default:
XCTFail("Unexpected error thrown")
}
}
// 2) doesn't compiles at all
XCTAssertThrowsError(try functionThatThrows()) { (error) in
XCTAssertEqual(error as? Error, Error.SomeExpectedError)
}
First statement compiles and works fine, but seconds one says me that there are two errors:
Errors thrown from here are not handled and Cannot convert value of type '(Error) -> Void' to expected argument type 'String'.
What could be wrong with this code? What do error messages mean?
I am using Xcode 7.3 .
