JUnit help

[jaunty trail]

Hey guys. Currently having troubles with passing this JUnit test. The instruction specify to make sure n is not negative by throwing an Illegal Argument exception so that is what i did. Don't know why i cannot pass that test.

The Test file was made by my professor

While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

i feel like something is off about that test

here is the method that i did

[north abyss]

you're checking the exception message

[tender aurora]

Your test doesn't match your code

In your code, you are using a certain message

In your test you are checking a message totally different

is it okay if i changed the message that the test gives us??

i ended up doing that because that error message given by the test does not make much sense to me

[tender aurora]

In your code, your message is [ERROR]: n must be positive
And in your test, the message is negative number -7

They do not match

[jaunty trail]

not all values passed to n will be -7

[tender aurora]

If make two different strings, don't expect them to be equal

[north abyss]

but in this particular test you pass -7
