don't understand why my Jasmine test is a failure

[pearl snow]

Hi, I've just finished the Introduction to Unit Testing course and I'm training doing tests for the candies challenge .
I'm trying to test the errors as there are Guaranteed constraints (1 ≤ n ≤ 10).
My code send me the error, but the test is failing and I don't understand why. Could you help me? I guess I don't see clearly anymore 🙈

I don't find the answer on Google links or stackoverflow...
I tried with and without error message, with and without try / catch block 🤔
I also tried to change the assert like this : expect(result).toThrow(new Error("sorry... n must be >= 1")); but it doesn't change.
I'm coding on GitHub codespace, I don't know if this could be the reason?

Here are some screenshots
Thanks a lot !

Have you gotten this resolved?

@pearl snow the error is very straight forward.
Look at the values in your test and you can see that n is defined as 0 and in your candies function this will thro an error as n cannot be less than 1

Hi, thanks a lot. I want the "throw an error test " to succeed if n is less than 1. I don't understand how could I modify my test to realize the Throw an error?
I thought defining n to 0 could be a good idea to trigger the error 🤔

you need to provide a function to expect which invokes your function:

expect(() => candies(0, 5)).toThrowError('...')

otherwise, the function will run, and the error will be thrown outside of expect

the error will not be saved as the result

there is ways around this but that is just messy

Sorry, I wasn't available and didn't see your answer. Thank you so much, now I understand 🤩. Light is on 💡
