JUnit test exception handling fail

2  comments

I just found this peace of code in a big java project i'm working on:
public void testSomething() throws IOException
{
    ...

    catch (Exception e)
    {
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        e.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(sw));
        fail(sw.toString());
    }
}
Wtf? I changed it to:
public void testSomething() throws IOException
{
    ...

    catch (Exception e)
    {
        fail(e.getMessage());
    }
}
