Mockito: Verify that a method throws exception

I had a specific error state that I wanted the tests to detect. I simulate that state in the state of the test, and need my code to have thrown a specific exception.

assertThrows( IllegalStateException.class, 
() -> instance.method(argOne, argTwo)
);

assertThrows is the tool to use in Juniper 5. You set up the preconditions for the method invocation to call, then with the arguments of assertThrows , you specify the exception class that would be thrown, and you make the invocation. () -> instance.method(argOne, argTwo);

In the preconditions, I had set a bad condition on one of the arguments that the instance.method is working with. Say argOne.invoiceType = a disallowed type .
