The easiest way to use IgnoredException is as an AutoCloseable in a try-with-resource block and by specifying the Exception class:
import static org.apache.geode.test.dunit.IgnoredException.addIgnoredException; import org.apache.geode.cache.client.ServerOperationException; @Test public void test{} { try (IgnoredException ie = addIgnoredException(ServerOperationException.class)) { invokeMethodThatLogsServerOperationException(); } } Another benefit is that the logged ServerOperationException is only ignored within the tiny scope of that try-with-resource block. Unfortunately you DO need to declare IgnoredException ie even though your IDE will highlight it as unused. That's just the way try-with-resource works.
