Hello all,

Can someone lead me to a reference for assert_throws? I don't
understand how to reference the expected symbol.

I'm trying to assert that a bad call on WIN32OLE object throws
WIN32OLERuntimeException.

Thanks.

Hello all,

I'm trying to assert that a bad call on WIN32OLE object throws
WIN32OLERuntimeException.

You want assert_raises. Exceptions are raised, Objects are thrown.

I believe you are looking for:

assert_raise(WIN32OLERuntimeException) { bad_call_goes_here() }

Throw/catch are a non-exception related Ruby idiom.

Hope that helps.
