Class Assertions

java.lang.Object
org.fest.assertions.api.Assertions

public class Assertions extends Object
Entry point for assertion methods for different data types. Each method in this class is a static factory for the type-specific assertion objects. The purpose of this class is to make test code more readable.

For example:

 int removed = employees.removeFired();
 assertThat(removed).isZero();

 List<Employee> newEmployees = employees.hired(TODAY);
 assertThat(newEmployees).hasSize(6);

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

       // extract simple property values, as no type has been defined the extracted property will be considered as Object 
       // 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

    • entry

      public static MapEntry entry(Object key, Object value)
      Only delegate to MapEntry.entry(Object, Object) so that Assertions offers a full feature entry point to all Fest Assert features (but you can use MapEntry if you prefer).

       assertThat(ringBearers).contains(entry(oneRing, frodo), entry(nenya, galadriel));
       
    • atIndex

      public static Index atIndex(int index)
