How do I test for multiple exceptions with PHPUnit?

Question

When testing for exceptions with PHPUnit, what is the best way to require that every statement or assertion must throw an exception in order for the test to pass?

I basically want to do something like this:

public function testExceptions() {      $this->setExpectedException('Exception');      foo(-1); //throws exception     foo(1); //does not throw exception  }  //Test will fail because foo(1) did not throw an exception 

I've come up with the following, which does the job, but is quite ugly IMO.

public function testExceptions() {      try {         foo(-1);     } catch (Exception $e) {         $hit = true;     }      if (!isset($hit))         $this->fail('No exception thrown');      unset($hit);      try {         foo(1);     } catch (Exception $e) {         $hit = true;     }      if (!isset($hit))         $this->fail('No exception thrown');      unset($hit);  }

I think this is a very common situation in unit testing. The approach I use in this cases is using phpunit dataProviders. All works as expected, and test code become more clear and concise.

class MyTest extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase {     public function badValues(): array     {        return [            [-1],            [1]        ];     }       /**      * @dataProvider badValues      * @expectedException Exception      */     public function testFoo($badValue): void     {         foo($badValue);     } }
