Method Detail

getWritableAssertionInfo

protected WritableAssertionInfo getWritableAssertionInfo()

Exposes the WritableAssertionInfo used in the current assertion for better extensibility.
When writing your own assertion class, you can use the returned WritableAssertionInfo to change the error message and still keep the description set by the assertion user.

Returns:

the WritableAssertionInfo used in the current assertion

as

public S as(String description)

Sets the description of this object.

Specified by:

as in interface Descriptable<S extends AbstractAssert<S,A>>

Parameters:

description - the new description to set.

Returns:

this object.

See Also:

Descriptable.describedAs(String)

as

public S as(Description description)

Sets the description of this object. To remove or clear the description, pass a EmptyTextDescription as argument.

This overloaded version of "describedAs" offers more flexibility than the one taking a String by allowing users to pass their own implementation of a description. For example, a description that creates its value lazily, only when an assertion failure occurs.

Specified by:

as in interface Descriptable<S extends AbstractAssert<S,A>>

Parameters:

description - the new description to set.

Returns:

this object.

See Also:

Descriptable.describedAs(Description)

describedAs

 // raceComparator implements Comparator<Character> 
 assertThat(frodo).usingComparator(raceComparator).isEqualTo(sam);

customComparator - the comparator to use for incoming assertion checks.

Returns:

Revert to standard comparison for incoming assertion checks.

This method should be used to disable a custom comparison strategy set by calling Assert.usingComparator(Comparator).

Specified by:

usingDefaultComparator in interface Assert<S extends AbstractAssert<S,A>,A>

Returns:

this assertion object.

equals

public final boolean equals(Object obj)

Throws UnsupportedOperationException if called. It is easy to accidentally call Assert.equals(Object) instead of isEqualTo.

equals in interface Assert<S extends AbstractAssert<S,A>,A>

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public final int hashCode()

Always returns 1.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

1.
