Test for throwing Errors in Ember.js

Using the integrated qUnit testing framweork I need to test wether or not visiting a route causes an Error to be thrown.

There is a Handlebars helper in the route that should throw an Error under certain conditions (failed Assertion). How do I test wether or not this Error is thrown?

This what I got so far:

test('throws, if the SVG is missing', function() {
  throws(visit('/missing'), Error, "has thrown an Error");
});

But it does not work, as the Error is not caught by throws(...) and bubbles up to the testing framework, marking this test as failed.

This is the test output:
