Make IntelliJ generate tests without throws Exception

Question

When I use the Create Test feature of IntelliJ IDEA, it generates test cases with a throws Exception clause, for example:

@Test
public void testIsInteger() throws Exception {

}

This annoys me a bit: I prefer to add the specific throws clauses myself only when necessary. That way I see at a glance what kind of exceptions might be thrown by each test case.

How can I change this behavior of IntelliJ to omit the throws clause?

Or am I wrong to want this? The creators seem to think this default behavior is a good thing.

Answer 1

You can go into Settings/File and Code Templates/Code tab and change the template for the JUnit test method (there are templates both for JUnit 3 and JUnit 4 test methods).

That should do the trick.
