Hi,

Is there a way in Eunit to test whether an exception has been thrown under certain cicumstances?

Say I have a function sum like this:

sum(N, M) when N > M ->
    throw({"start is bigger than end", N, M});
sum(N, M) when N =:= M ->   
    N;
sum(N, M) when N =< M ->
    N + sum(N + 1, M).

Can I test that if N is bigger than M then an exception is thrown?

Cheers

Paul
