Support Verifying Errors with @ContextConfiguration at method level [SPR-15034]

[spring-projects-issues]

Rob Winch opened SPR-15034 and commented

It would be nice if #16647 could support verifying errors. For example something like this:

@Test(expected = BeanDefinitionParsingException.class)
@ContextConfiguration("classpath:/just-this-method.xml")
public void testBeanDefinitionParsingException() {}

It would also be nice if we could access the entire Exception for verifying the description / caused by, etc.

@Test
@ContextConfiguration("classpath:/just-this-method.xml")
public void testBeanDefinitionParsingException(@ExpectedException BeanDefinitionParsingException expected) {
    assertThat(expected).hasDescription("Ooops");
}

Thanks for the quick reply!

Please note (I probably should have put this in the description, but it is probably implied) I am not particular on how it is done, just so that I can verify Exceptions, descriptions, caused bys, etc
