Class ShouldBeEqual

java.lang.Object

org.assertj.core.error.ShouldBeEqual

All Implemented Interfaces:

AssertionErrorFactory

public class ShouldBeEqual
extends Object
implements AssertionErrorFactory

Creates an AssertionError indicating that an assertion that verifies that two objects are equal failed.

The built AssertionError's message differentiates actual and expected description if their string representation are the same (e.g. 42 float and 42 double). It also mentions the comparator in case of a custom comparator is used (instead of equals method).

Method Detail

shouldBeEqual

public static AssertionErrorFactory shouldBeEqual(Object actual,
                                                  Object expected,
                                                  Representation representation)

Creates a new ShouldBeEqual.

Parameters:

actual - the actual value in the failed assertion.

expected - the expected value in the failed assertion.

Returns:

the created AssertionErrorFactory.

shouldBeEqual

public static AssertionErrorFactory shouldBeEqual(Object actual,
                                                  Object expected,
                                                  ComparisonStrategy comparisonStrategy,
                                                  Representation representation)

Creates a new ShouldBeEqual.

Parameters:

actual - the actual value in the failed assertion.

expected - the expected value in the failed assertion.

comparisonStrategy - the ComparisonStrategy used to compare actual with expected.

Returns:

the created AssertionErrorFactory.

newAssertionError

public AssertionError newAssertionError(Description description,
                                        Representation representation)

Creates an AssertionError indicating that an assertion that verifies that two objects are equal failed.
The AssertionError message is built so that it differentiates actual and expected description in case their string representation are the same (like 42 float and 42 double).

If JUnit 4 is in the classpath and the description is standard (no comparator was used and actual and expected string representation were different), this method will instead create a org.junit.ComparisonFailure that highlights the difference(s) between the expected and actual objects.

AssertionError stack trace won't show AssertJ related elements if Failures is configured to filter them (see Failures.setRemoveAssertJRelatedElementsFromStackTrace(boolean)).

Specified by:

newAssertionError in interface AssertionErrorFactory

Parameters:

description - the description of the failed assertion.

representation -

Returns:

the created AssertionError.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object
