# assert-panic

[](https://docs.rs/assert-panic/1.0.0-preview1/assert-panic/)
This library provides a macro that asserts that a panic happens, and optionally what (kind of) panic happens.
The simplest version gives you the panic as boxed `Any`.
## Example
```rust
# use std::any::Any;
use assert_panic::assert_panic;
let _: Box<dyn Any + Send + 'static> =
assert_panic!(panic!("at the Disco"));
assert_panic!(panic!("at the Disco"), &str);
assert_panic!(
{ assert_panic!({}); },
String,
starts with "assert_panic! argument did not panic:",
);
assert_panic!(
assert_panic!(panic!("found"), &str, starts with "expected"),
String,
"Expected a panic starting with \"expected\" but found \"found\"",
);
assert_panic!(
assert_panic!(panic!(1usize), usize, 2usize),
String,
"Expected 2 but found 1",
);
```
