Error message misleading if constructor throws exceptions.

[Paul Hutchin]

When constructors throw runtime exceptions, JFixture reports:
"java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: JFixture was unable to create an instance from com.flextrade.MyClass, most likely because it has no public constructor, is an abstract or non-public type or has no static factory methods"

Hi @phutchin, could you just clarify what you expect to happen here please. I assume you're saying the message should also include the possibility of a constructor failing, or do you have something else in mind?

Thanks!

[Paul Hutchin]

Yes, I'd like to see a change to the description, saying that the constructor might have thrown an exception.
Actually getting the exception would be good, but I can understand why it's not possible, given that tries many constructors.

[Rich Keenan]

OK cool. If you get this situation and you want to know why the constructor failed you just need to add the Tracing Customisation,

fixture.customise(new TracingCustomisation(System.out));

And it'll include any caught exceptions in the output
