phpunitHow to use expects twice in PHPUnit?

Using expects twice in PHPUnit is possible by using the expectException and expectExceptionMessage methods.

Example code

public function testException()
{
    $this->expectException(Exception::class);
    $this->expectExceptionMessage('Exception message');
    throw new Exception('Exception message');
}

Output example

OK (1 test, 1 assertion)

• $this->expectException(Exception::class); - This line sets the expectation that an exception of type Exception will be thrown.
• $this->expectExceptionMessage('Exception message'); - This line sets the expectation that the exception thrown will have the message Exception message.
• throw new Exception('Exception message'); - This line throws an exception of type Exception with the message Exception message.
