AbstractCharSequenceAssert

protected AbstractCharSequenceAssert(A actual,
                                     Class<?> selfType)

Method Detail

isNullOrEmpty

public void isNullOrEmpty()

Verifies that the actual CharSequence is empty, i.e., it has a length of 0, or is null.

If you do not want to accept a null value, use isEmpty() instead.

Both of these assertions will succeed:

 String emptyString = ""
 assertThat(emptyString).isNullOrEmpty();
 
 String nullString = null;
 assertThat(nullString).isNullOrEmpty();
 

Specified by:

isNullOrEmpty in interface EnumerableAssert<S extends AbstractCharSequenceAssert<S,A>,Character>

Throws:

AssertionError - if the actual CharSequence has a non-zero length.

isEmpty

public void isEmpty()

Verifies that the actual CharSequence is empty, i.e., it has a length of 0 and is not null.

If you want to accept a null value as well as a 0 length, use isNullOrEmpty() instead.

This assertion will succeed:

 String emptyString = ""
 assertThat(emptyString).isEmpty();
 

Whereas this assertion will fail:

 String nullString = null;
 assertThat(nullString).isEmpty();
 

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface EnumerableAssert<S extends AbstractCharSequenceAssert<S,A>,Character>

Throws:

AssertionError - if the actual CharSequence has a non-zero length or is null.

isNotEmpty

public S isNotEmpty()

Verifies that the actual CharSequence is not empty, i.e., is not null and has a length of 1 or more.

This assertion will succeed:

 String bookName = "A Game of Thrones"
 assertThat(bookName).isNotEmpty();
 

Whereas this assertion will fail:

 String emptyString = ""
 assertThat(emptyString).isNotEmpty();
 

Specified by:

isNotEmpty in interface EnumerableAssert<S extends AbstractCharSequenceAssert<S,A>,Character>

Returns:

this assertion object.

Throws:

AssertionError - if the actual CharSequence is empty (has a length of 0).

hasSize

public S hasSize(int expected)

Verifies that the actual CharSequence has the expected length using the length() method.

This assertion will succeed:

 String bookName = "A Game of Thrones"
 assertThat(bookName).hasSize(17);
 

Whereas this assertion will fail:

 String bookName = "A Clash of Kings"
 assertThat(bookName).hasSize(4);
 

Specified by:

hasSize in interface EnumerableAssert<S extends AbstractCharSequenceAssert<S,A>,Character>

Parameters:

expected - the expected length of the actual CharSequence.

Returns:

this assertion object.

Throws:

AssertionError - if the actual length is not equal to the expected length.

hasLineCount

public S hasLineCount(int expectedLineCount)

Verifies that the actual CharSequence has the expected line count.

A line is considered to be terminated by any one of a line feed ('\n'), a carriage return ('\r'), or a carriage return followed immediately by a linefeed (see LineNumberReader).

This assertion will succeed:

 String multiLine = "First line\n" +
                    "Last line";
 assertThat(multiLine).hasLineCount(2);
 

Whereas this assertion will fail:

 String bookName = "A Clash of Kings";
 assertThat(bookName).hasLineCount(3);
 

Parameters:

expectedLineCount - the expected line count of the actual CharSequence.

Returns:

this assertion object.

Throws:

AssertionError - if the actual line count is not equal to the expected one.

usingElementComparator

@Deprecated
public final S usingElementComparator(Comparator<? super Character> customComparator)

Deprecated. Custom element Comparator is not supported for CharSequence comparison.

Do not use this method.

Specified by:

usingElementComparator in interface EnumerableAssert<S extends AbstractCharSequenceAssert<S,A>,Character>

Parameters:

customComparator - the comparator to use for incoming assertion checks.

Returns:

this assertion object.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this method is called.

usingDefaultElementComparator

@Deprecated
public final S usingDefaultElementComparator()

Deprecated. Custom element Comparator is not supported for CharSequence comparison.

Do not use this method.

Specified by:

usingDefaultElementComparator in interface EnumerableAssert<S extends AbstractCharSequenceAssert<S,A>,Character>

Returns:

this assertion object.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this method is called.

usingComparator

public S usingComparator(Comparator<? super A> customComparator)

Description copied from class: AbstractAssert

Use given custom comparator instead of relying on actual type A equals method for incoming assertion checks.

Custom comparator is bound to assertion instance, meaning that if a new assertion is created, it will use default comparison strategy.

Examples :

 // frodo and sam are instances of Character with Hobbit race (obviously :).
 // raceComparator implements Comparator<Character> 
 assertThat(frodo).usingComparator(raceComparator).isEqualTo(sam); 
 

Specified by:

usingComparator in interface Assert<S extends AbstractCharSequenceAssert<S,A>,A extends CharSequence>

Overrides:

usingComparator in class AbstractAssert<S extends AbstractCharSequenceAssert<S,A>,A extends CharSequence>

Parameters:

customComparator - the comparator to use for incoming assertion checks.

Returns:

this assertion object.

usingDefaultComparator

public S usingDefaultComparator()

Description copied from class: AbstractAssert

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 AbstractCharSequenceAssert<S,A>,A extends CharSequence>

Overrides:

usingDefaultComparator in class AbstractAssert<S extends AbstractCharSequenceAssert<S,A>,A extends CharSequence>

Returns:

this assertion object.

inHexadecimal

public S inHexadecimal()

Description copied from class: AbstractAssert

Use hexadecimal object representation instead of standard representation in error messages.

It can be useful when comparing UNICODE characters - many unicode chars have duplicate characters assigned, it is thus impossible to find differences from the standard error message:

With standard message:

 assertThat("µµµ").contains("μμμ");

 java.lang.AssertionError:
 Expecting:
   <"µµµ">
 to contain:
   <"μμμ">
 

With Hexadecimal message:

 assertThat("µµµ").inHexadecimal().contains("μμμ");

 java.lang.AssertionError:
 Expecting:
   <"['00B5', '00B5', '00B5']">
 to contain:
   <"['03BC', '03BC', '03BC']">
 

Overrides:

inHexadecimal in class AbstractAssert<S extends AbstractCharSequenceAssert<S,A>,A extends CharSequence>

Returns:

this assertion object.

inUnicode

public S inUnicode()

Use unicode character representation instead of standard representation in error messages.

It can be useful when comparing UNICODE characters - many unicode chars have duplicate characters assigned, it is thus impossible to find differences from the standard error message:

With standard message:

 assertThat("µµµ").contains("μμμ");
 
 java.lang.AssertionError:
 Expecting:
   <"µµµ">
 to contain:
   <"μμμ">
 

With Hexadecimal message:

 assertThat("µµµ").inUnicode().contains("μμμ");
 
 java.lang.AssertionError:
 Expecting:
   <µµµ>
 to contain:
   <μμμ>
 

Returns:

this assertion object.
