Can I throw an exception in Cleanup to fail a test?

Question

I am running some UI tests using WebDriver and MSpec. I added a check in Cleanup that no JavaScript errors were raised. But, throwing an exception in here doesn't fail the tests. How can I get this to work? I need to fail any test, and don't really want to do this separately in each test.

Answer 1

If I remember correctly, there isn't really a way to do this in a cleanup. Cleanups happen after tests, so it would be too late to fail them. As a matter of principle, it may be better to write the assertion for it not raising any javascript errors as its own spec at the end of each of them.

Answer 2

Even if it can be done from the Cleanup code, it should not be done that way. Reason: How would you know which of the multiple tests that you have failed?
