In PHPUnit, to test that an exception is thrown in a given piece of code, the expectException*() methods or the
@expectedException* annotations can be used. For such a test to succeed, something in the test method has to throw an exception with the
awaited properties. Having an assertion at the end of such a test method, means that, if the test succeeds, that assertion was never evaluated because
an exception was thrown before getting to that point.
Noncompliant code example
public function testA() {
$o = new MyClass();
$this->expectException(\Exception::class);
$o->doSomething();
$this->assertTrue($o->hasProperty()); // Noncompliant - This assertion might never get evaluated
}
Compliant solution
public function testA() {
$o = new MyClass();
$this->expectException(\Exception::class);
$o->doSomething();
}
public function testB() {
$o = new MyClass();
$this->assertTrue($o->hasProperty());
}
