Midje (https://github.com/marick/Midje) lets you describe exceptions-to-be-raised like this: (fact (/ 1 0) => (throws ArithmeticException)) You can also describe the exception message: (facts "about throws" ... (throw-exception "hi") => (throws Error "hi") (throw-exception "hi") => (throws Error #"h.")) You could use what's already built in, since conditions are built on top of exceptions. Alternately, you could write condition-specific "checkers" specialized to clojure.contrib.condition. I could help you with that. ----- Brian Marick, Artisanal Labrador Contract programming in Ruby and Clojure Occasional consulting on Agile www.exampler.com, www.twitter.com/marick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
