How do I enforce exception message with ExpectedException attribute

We use this attribute all over the place and we clearly misunderstood the second parameter (shame on us).

However, we definitely have used it to check the exception message. The following was what we used with hints from this page. It doesn’t handle globalization, or inherited exception types, but it does what we need. Again, the goal was to simply RR ‘ExpectedException’ and swap it out with this class. (Bummer ExpectedException is sealed.)

public class ExpectedExceptionWithMessageAttribute : ExpectedExceptionBaseAttribute
{
    public Type ExceptionType { get; set; }

    public string ExpectedMessage { get; set; }

    public ExpectedExceptionWithMessageAttribute(Type exceptionType)
    {
        this.ExceptionType = exceptionType;
    }

    public ExpectedExceptionWithMessageAttribute(Type exceptionType, string expectedMessage)
    {
        this.ExceptionType = exceptionType;
        this.ExpectedMessage = expectedMessage;
    }

    protected override void Verify(Exception e)
    {
        if (e.GetType() != this.ExceptionType)
        {
            Assert.Fail($"ExpectedExceptionWithMessageAttribute failed. Expected exception type: {this.ExceptionType.FullName}. " +
                $"Actual exception type: {e.GetType().FullName}. Exception message: {e.Message}");
        }

        var actualMessage = e.Message.Trim();
        if (this.ExpectedMessage != null)
        {
            Assert.AreEqual(this.ExpectedMessage, actualMessage);
        }

        Debug.WriteLine($"ExpectedExceptionWithMessageAttribute:{actualMessage}");
    }
}
