Class AssertionsForClassTypes

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    AssertionsForInterfaceTypes
    public class AssertionsForClassTypes
extends Object
    Java 8 is picky when choosing the right assertThat method if the object under test is generic and bounded, for example if foo is instance of T that extends Exception, java 8 will complain that it can't resolve the proper assertThat method (normally assertThat(Throwable) as foo might implement an interface like List, if that occurred assertThat(List) would also be a possible choice - thus confusing java 8.

    This why Assertions have been split in AssertionsForClassTypes and AssertionsForInterfaceTypes (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29499847/ambiguous-method-in-java-8-why).

      • assertThatThrownBy

        public static AbstractThrowableAssert<?,​? extends Throwable> assertThatThrownBy​(ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable shouldRaiseThrowable)
        Allows to capture and then assert on a Throwable.

        Example : 

        @Test
 public void testException() {
   assertThatThrownBy(() -> { throw new Exception("boom!"); }).isInstanceOf(Exception.class)
                                                              .hasMessageContaining("boom");
 }
        Another (probably more natural) way of checking that some code throws an exception is assertThatExceptionOfType(Class).
        Parameters:
        shouldRaiseThrowable - The ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable or lambda with the code that should raise the throwable.
        Returns:
        The captured exception or null if none was raised by the callable.

      • assertThatExceptionOfType

        public static <T extends Throwable> ThrowableTypeAssert<T> assertThatExceptionOfType​(Class<? extends T> exceptionType)
        Entry point to check that an exception of type T is thrown by a given throwingCallable which allows to chain assertions on the thrown exception.

        Example: 

         assertThatExceptionOfType(IOException.class)
              .isThrownBy(() -> { throw new IOException("boom!"); })
              .withMessage("boom!");
        This method is more or less the same of assertThatThrownBy(ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable) but in a more natural way.
        Parameters:
        exceptionType - the actual value.
        Returns:
        the created ThrowableTypeAssert.

      • assertThatCode

        public static AbstractThrowableAssert<?,​? extends Throwable> assertThatCode​(ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable shouldRaiseOrNotThrowable)
        Allows to capture and then assert on a Throwable more easily when used with Java 8 lambdas.

        Example : 

         ThrowingCallable callable = () -> {
   throw new Exception("boom!");
 };
 
 // assertion succeeds
 assertThatCode(callable).isInstanceOf(Exception.class)
                         .hasMessageContaining("boom");
                                                      
 // assertion fails
 assertThatCode(callable).doesNotThrowAnyException();
        If the provided ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable does not validate against next assertions, an error is immediately raised, in that case the test description provided with as(String, Object...) is not honored.
        To use a test description, use catchThrowable(ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable) as shown below. 
         ThrowingCallable doNothing = () -> {
   // do nothing 
 }; 
 
 // assertion fails and "display me" appears in the assertion error
 assertThatCode(doNothing).as("display me")
                          .isInstanceOf(Exception.class);

 // assertion will fail AND "display me" will appear in the error
 Throwable thrown = catchThrowable(doNothing);
 assertThatCode(thrown).as("display me")
                       .isInstanceOf(Exception.class);

        This method was not named assertThat because the java compiler reported it ambiguous when used directly with a lambda :(

        Parameters:
        shouldRaiseOrNotThrowable - The ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable or lambda with the code that should raise the throwable.
        Returns:
        The captured exception or null if none was raised by the callable.
        Since:
        3.7.0

      • catchThrowable

        public static Throwable catchThrowable​(ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable shouldRaiseThrowable)
        Allows to catch an Throwable more easily when used with Java 8 lambdas.

        This caught Throwable can then be asserted.

        Example: 

        @Test
 public void testException() {
   // when
   Throwable thrown = catchThrowable(() -> { throw new Exception("boom!"); });

   // then
   assertThat(thrown).isInstanceOf(Exception.class)
                     .hasMessageContaining("boom");
 }
        Parameters:
        shouldRaiseThrowable - The lambda with the code that should raise the exception.
        Returns:
        The captured exception or null if none was raised by the callable.

        The following array will be formatted on one line as its length < 80 

         String[] greatBooks = array("A Game of Thrones", "The Lord of the Rings", "Assassin's Apprentice");
 
 // formatted as:
 
 ["A Game of Thrones", "The Lord of the Rings", "Assassin's Apprentice"]
        whereas this array is formatted on multiple lines (one element per line) 
         String[] greatBooks = array("A Game of Thrones", "The Lord of the Rings", "Assassin's Apprentice", "Guards! Guards! (Discworld)");
 
 // formatted as:
 
 ["A Game of Thrones",
  "The Lord of the Rings",
  "Assassin's Apprentice",
  "Guards! Guards! (Discworld)"]

                                                Class<T> propertyType)
        Only delegate to Properties.extractProperty(String) so that Assertions offers a full feature entry point to all AssertJ features (but you can use Properties if you prefer).

        Typical usage is to chain extractProperty with from method, see examples below : 

         // extract simple property values having a java standard type (here String)
 assertThat(extractProperty("name", String.class).from(fellowshipOfTheRing))
           .contains("Boromir", "Gandalf", "Frodo", "Legolas")

 // to define the real property type (here String) use extractProperty("name", String.class) instead.
 assertThat(extractProperty("name").from(fellowshipOfTheRing))
           .contains("Boromir", "Gandalf", "Frodo", "Legolas")
           .doesNotContain("Sauron", "Elrond");

 // extracting property works also with user's types (here Race), even though it will be considered as Object
 // to define the real property type (here String) use extractProperty("name", Race.class) instead.
 assertThat(extractProperty("race").from(fellowshipOfTheRing)).contains(HOBBIT, ELF).doesNotContain(ORC);

        Typical usage with Condition : 

         assertThat(filter(players).being(potentialMVP).get()).containsOnly(james, rose);

        and with filter language based on java bean property : 

         assertThat(filter(players).with("pointsPerGame").greaterThan(20).and("assistsPerGame").greaterThan(7).get())
           .containsOnly(james, rose);

      • setLenientDateParsing

        public static void setLenientDateParsing​(boolean value)
        Instead of using default strict date/time parsing, it is possible to use lenient parsing mode for default date formats parser to interpret inputs that do not precisely match supported date formats (lenient parsing).

        With strict parsing, inputs must match exactly date/time format.

        Example: 

         final Date date = Dates.parse("2001-02-03");
 final Date dateTime = parseDatetime("2001-02-03T04:05:06");
 final Date dateTimeWithMs = parseDatetimeWithMs("2001-02-03T04:05:06.700");

 Assertions.setLenientDateParsing(true);

 // assertions will pass
 assertThat(date).isEqualTo("2001-01-34");
 assertThat(date).isEqualTo("2001-02-02T24:00:00");
 assertThat(date).isEqualTo("2001-02-04T-24:00:00.000");
 assertThat(dateTime).isEqualTo("2001-02-03T04:05:05.1000");
 assertThat(dateTime).isEqualTo("2001-02-03T04:04:66");
 assertThat(dateTimeWithMs).isEqualTo("2001-02-03T04:05:07.-300");

 // assertions will fail
 assertThat(date).hasSameTimeAs("2001-02-04"); // different date
 assertThat(dateTime).hasSameTimeAs("2001-02-03 04:05:06"); // leniency does not help here
        To revert to default strict date parsing, call setLenientDateParsing(false).
        Parameters:
        value - whether lenient parsing mode should be enabled or not

      • registerCustomDateFormat

        public static void registerCustomDateFormat​(DateFormat userCustomDateFormat)
        Add the given date format to the ones used to parse date String in String based Date assertions like AbstractDateAssert.isEqualTo(String).

        User date formats are used before default ones in the order they have been registered (first registered, first used).

        AssertJ is gonna use any date formats registered with one of these methods :

        Beware that AssertJ will use the newly registered format for all remaining Date assertions in the test suite

        To revert to default formats only, call useDefaultDateFormatsOnly() or AbstractDateAssert.withDefaultDateFormatsOnly().

        Code examples: 

         Date date = ... // set to 2003 April the 26th
 assertThat(date).isEqualTo("2003-04-26");

 try {
   // date with a custom format : failure since the default formats don't match.
   assertThat(date).isEqualTo("2003/04/26");
 } catch (AssertionError e) {
   assertThat(e).hasMessage("Failed to parse 2003/04/26 with any of these date formats: " +
                            "[yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS, yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss, yyyy-MM-dd]");
 }

 // registering a custom date format to make the assertion pass
 registerCustomDateFormat(new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd")); // registerCustomDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd") would work to.
 assertThat(date).isEqualTo("2003/04/26");

 // the default formats are still available and should work
 assertThat(date).isEqualTo("2003-04-26");
        Parameters:
        userCustomDateFormat - the new Date format used for String based Date assertions.

      • registerCustomDateFormat

        public static void registerCustomDateFormat​(String userCustomDateFormatPattern)
        Add the given date format to the ones used to parse date String in String based Date assertions like AbstractDateAssert.isEqualTo(String).

        Parameters:
        userCustomDateFormatPattern - the new Date format pattern used for String based Date assertions.

      • useDefaultDateFormatsOnly

        public static void useDefaultDateFormatsOnly()
        Remove all registered custom date formats => use only the defaults date formats to parse string as date.

        Beware that the default formats are expressed in the current local timezone.

        Defaults date format are:

        • yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS
        • yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS (for Timestamp String representation support)
        • yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss
        • yyyy-MM-dd

        Example of valid string date representations:

        • 2003-04-26T03:01:02.999
        • 2003-04-26 03:01:02.999
        • 2003-04-26T13:01:02
        • 2003-04-26
