:question: :red_circle: :test_tube:  *Compose Testing :* How do I test if the exception is thrown or not? See more details in the <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69171460/assert-exception-thrown-or-not-in-a-jetpack-compose-test|SO thread>

I’m not sure if there’s a non-hacky way to do this, but stepping back: why do you need to test that an exception is thrown from a click handler? If your click action performs some action that can fail, just write a test for that failure case without involving the view layer. 

<@U0KMMQA20> this is a simplified version of a complex scenario. basically, whatever error we throw, doesn’t get caught in the instrumentation test

That seems like an odd thing to test to me. Typically a UI test will check for error handling by checking for some sort of error message or other special state displayed in the UI, not looking for individual exceptions. 

Sounds fare :thinking_face: I think I need to remove this exception test  from UI test.

the`ExpectedException`  way works, but the `none()` method of it is deprecated. The recommended method is to use `assertThrows` which is not working at the moment.
