//this works
def checkUnauthorizedException[T](t: Try[T]): TestResult =
  t match {
    case Throw(e) if e.isInstanceOf[UnauthorizedException] => TestResult.Success
    case  _ => TestResult.fail("found " + t.toString() + " but expected Throw[UnauthorizedException]")

//possible to make this more generic? e.g. something like..

def checkThrow[T](found: Try[T], magical_type_parameter): TestResult =
  t match {
    case Throw(t) if t.isInstanceOf[magical_type_parameter] => TestResult.Success
    case Throw(_) => TestResult.fail("Throw wasn't the correct type")
    case Return(_) => TestResult.fail("Try was a Return")
  }
  
//so I could do
