Feature: raise_error matcher
Use the `raise_error` matcher to specify that a block of code raises an
error. The most basic form passes if any error is thrown:
```ruby
expect { raise StandardError }.to raise_error
```
You can use `raise_exception` instead if you prefer that wording:
```ruby
expect { 3 / 0 }.to raise_exception
```
`raise_error` and `raise_exception` are functionally interchangeable, so use
the one that makes the most sense to you in any given context.
In addition to the basic form, above, there are a number of ways to specify
details of an error/exception:
```ruby
expect { raise "oops" }.to raise_error
expect { raise "oops" }.to raise_error(RuntimeError)
expect { raise "oops" }.to raise_error("oops")
expect { raise "oops" }.to raise_error(/op/)
expect { raise "oops" }.to raise_error(RuntimeError, "oops")
expect { raise "oops" }.to raise_error(RuntimeError, /op/)
```
Scenario: expect any error
Given a file named "example_spec" with:
"""
describe "calling a missing method" do
it "raises" do
expect { Object.new.foo }.to raise_error
end
end
"""
When I run `rspec example_spec`
Then the example should pass
Scenario: expect specific error
Given a file named "example_spec" with:
"""
describe "calling a missing method" do
it "raises" do
expect { Object.new.foo }.to raise_error(NameError)
end
end
"""
When I run `rspec example_spec`
Then the example should pass
Scenario: match message with a string
Given a file named "example_spec.rb" with:
"""ruby
describe "matching error message with string" do
it "matches the error message" do
expect { raise StandardError, 'this message exactly'}.
to raise_error('this message exactly')
end
end
"""
When I run `rspec example_spec.rb`
Then the example should pass
Scenario: match message with a regexp
Given a file named "example_spec.rb" with:
"""ruby
describe "matching error message with regex" do
it "matches the error message" do
expect { raise StandardError, "my message" }.
to raise_error(/my mess/)
end
end
"""

Then the example should pass
Scenario: match type + message with string

Given a file named "example_spec" with:
"""
describe "#foo" do
it "raises NameError" do
