UnauthorizedException not caught with Laravel 5 / Codeception

Question

I'm trying to intercept a UnauthorizedException with Codeception in my functional test. Well, In fact my functional test are Laravel tests triggered by codeception. So, I tried 2 ways:

/** @test
 *
 * @expectedException UnauthorizedException
 */
public function test_exception()
{

    $this->visit("/associations/1/edit")

}

Or

 /** @test
 *
 */
public function test_exception()
{
   \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase::setExpectedException(UnauthorizedException::class);
    $this->visit("/associations/1/edit")

}

In my controller, I just trow it to test:

 throw new UnauthorizedException();

In both cases, it just says:

Failed asserting that exception of type "UnauthorizedException" is thrown.

Everything seems fine, but it doesn't seem to work... Any idea why???

EDIT : My Edit Method in Controller

public function edit($id)
{

    $association = Association::findOrFail($id);
    $federation = $association->federation;

    if (Auth::user()->cannot('edit', $association)) { // I have checked with dd() my test goes here.
        throw new UnauthorizedException();
    }

    $users = User::all();
    $federations = Federation::all();

    return view('associations.form', compact('association', 'users', 'federations', 'federation'));
}

tried namespacing? \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\UnauthorizedException — Angad Dubey

I finally got the solution from here:

Basic idea, I guess, is exception is catched and sent to Handler where a view is returned.

So, for testing, you should include in Handler.php the condition:

public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
    if (App::environment() == 'testing') {
        throw $e;
    }
    // Your exception management...

and now Exception is thrown!
