How to assert async error?

[danny0838]

assert.throw(async () => {
  // expect this to throw
  await somefunc(/* args */);
});

Something like the above code doesn't work as expected.

Is there a way to assert whether a promise should throw?

Currently I think you would need to use something like chai-as-promised. We really need to pull that capability into core I think, given how fundamental it is these days
