PHPUnit not catching exception

Question

Looking for some help to write better code /tests, but seemed to have stumbled across a problem straight away - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Script:

$feed = 'App\Http\Services\Supplier\Feeds\\' . ucwords($feedName) . "Feed";

if (class_exists($feed)) {
    return new $feed($headerRowToSkip);
} else {
    throw new Exception("Invalid feed type given.");
}

Test:

 public function testBuild()
{
    SupplierFeedFactory::build('MusicMagpie', 1);
    $this->expectExceptionMessage("Invalid feed type given.");
}

Error:

There was 1 failure:

1) Tests\Feature\Account\Supplier\Feeds\SupplierFeedFactoryTest::testBuild Failed asserting that exception of type "Exception" is thrown.

Answer 1

The PHPUnit method is literal, EXPECTexception so all you have to do is put that before the exception actually happens.

public function testBuild()
{
    $this->expectException('Exception');
    $this->expectExceptionMessage("Invalid feed type given.");
    SupplierFeedFactory::build('MusicMagpie', 1);
}
