Hi Team,

While doing typecasting from boost::any to DecodeErrorPayload_t, its throwing bad_any_cast ..

class RegisterIONotification
{
  public:
       enum NotifyType {
                   TypeUnknown,
                  TypeRegTx,
                  TypeRegRx,
                 TypeDecodeError
              };
              NotifyType Type;
              boost::any Payload;
              typedef boost::tuple<std::string, BinaryBuffer_t> DecodeErrorPayload_t;
  RegisterIONotification(NotifyType type;,boost::any payload)
                             {
                                           Type(type);
                                           Payload(payload);
                             }
};

I have called  RegisterIONotification from other class function.

void RegisterIOThreaded::OnDecodeError( const std::string& error, BinaryBuffer_t data )
    {
        RegisterIONotification notify(RegisterIONotification::TypeDecodeError ,make_tuple(error, data));
        .....
                             ....
                             ...
    }

While testing, I am getting bad_any_cast exception.

TEST_F(...,...)
   {
        RegisterIONotification notify = sink.GetDataById(ID::NOTIFY_COMMS_STATUS, 0).GetValue<RegisterIONotification>();
        ASSERT_EQ(RegisterIONotification::TypeDecodeError, notify.Type);     //passed
         RegisterIONotification::DecodeErrorPayload_t payload;
        ASSERT_NO_THROW(payload = boost::any_cast<RegisterIONotification::DecodeErrorPayload_t>(notify.Payload));// Here its got failed...Please help me to fix this.
   }
