Is there an easy way to check "@fact_does_not_throw f()"

[tbreloff]

I want success when there is no error in the function. Is that possible currently?

[IainNZ]

I think @fact captures that case already right? And if it throws it records it as an error? So you could do @fact f() => anything kinda thing?

[tbreloff]

Close... I think below works. Does it make sense to have shorthand for this? @fact_nothrows?

julia> f() = nothing
f (generic function with 1 method)

julia> g() = error()
g (generic function with 1 method)

julia> facts() do
         @fact f() => anyof(anything,nothing)
         @fact g() => anyof(anything,nothing)
       end

  Error   :: (line:-1)
    g() => anyof(anything,nothing)

 in g at none:1
 in anonymous at /home/tom/.julia/v0.4/FactCheck/src/FactCheck.jl:142

I would also find such a feature useful. For now I am using this approach:

julia> using FactCheck

julia> checkerror=not(NaN)
(anonymous function)

julia> f()=nothing; g()=NaN; h()=1; er()=error("something went wrong")
er (generic function with 1 method)

julia> facts("check for errors") do
       @fact f() --> checkerror
       @fact g() --> checkerror
       @fact h() --> checkerror
       @fact er() --> checkerror
       end
check for errors
  Error :: (line:505)
    Expression: er() --> checkerror
    something went wrong
     in er at none:1
