What steps will reproduce the problem?

foo() must throwA[MyException] like { case m => m.myMethod() == 42 }

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The above code won't compile, because like takes a PartialFunction[Throwable, Boolean] as parameter. I'd suggest that PartialFunction[E, Boolean] would be expected, removing the need for pattern matching on the type of the exception.

Currently you are required to write: ... like { case m: MyException => m.myMethod() == 42 } which increases clutter.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

2.8.0.Beta1_1.6.2

Please provide any additional information below.

(none)

That should work in principle, see http://bitbucket.org/mkneissl/snippets/src/08b5cad54bdb/ScalaSnippets/src/eu/kneissl/scalasnippets/ExceptionSpecification.scala for a rough demo.

Thanks Martin for your code sample. I've fixed the issue. Please wait a bit for me to deploy the snapshot containing the fix.
