I am writing a method to remove the first element in a doubly linked list. However I am supposed to throw an exception when the list is empty. When I test my class I keep getting "testRemoveFirst caused an ERROR: Uncompilable source code - exception Exceptions.EmptyCollectionException is never thrown in body of corresponding try statement" What does that mean and why is it not able to run?(I'm coding in Java)
