EasyMock - expect a method call that throws a checked exception

I have the follow method that rethrows the JMSException wrapped in a RuntimeException so my code doesn't have to deal with the checked exception.

public String getText(TextMessage textMessage) {
    try {
        return textMessage.getText();
    } catch (JMSException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
}

I'm trying to use EasyMock, asking that the getText method throws a JMSException when called, so that I can then test that a RuntimeException is thrown.

@Test
public void getText() {
    TextMessage mockMessage = createMock(TextMessage.class);
    expect(mockTextMessage.getText()).andThrow(new JMSException("Something terrible happened"));
    replayAll();
    jmsHelper.getText(mockTextMessage);
    verifyAll();
}

I'm getting a Unhandled exception type JMSException compilation error against the expect(mockTextMessage.getText()) code.

What's the best way to write this EasyMock test?

You're doing just fine. All you have to do is make the compiler happy by making your test method throw the JMSException

@Test
public void getText() throws JMSException{
   ... 
}

The error is just because the compiler doesn't know mockTextMessage.getText() is a fake method so you have to catch or throw any exceptions it throws. Don't worry, this will never actually throw an exception.
