I'm working with some code where I need to test type of exception thrown by function (Is it TypeError, ReferenceError etc.).

My current testing framework is AVA and I can test it as a second argument t.throws method, like here:

it('should throw Error with message \'UNKNOWN ERROR\' when no params were passed', (t) => { const error = t.throws(() => { throwError(); }, TypeError); t.is(error.message, 'UNKNOWN ERROR'); }); 

I started rewriting my tests to Jest and couldn't find how to easily do that. Is it even possible?
