Description

GroovyTestCase.shouldFail{} should return the message of the enclosed Exception.
This would allow easier testing that the Exception reveals a meaningful message.

def result = shouldFail(IllegalArgumentException.class){
    throw new IllegalArgumentException('null not allowed')
}
assertEquals 'null not allowed', result
