public static <T> AbstractIteratorAssert<?,T> assertThat(Iterator<? extends T> actual)
```
    Deprecated.
    Creates a new instance of IteratorAssert.
    Breaking change in version 3.12.0: this method does not return anymore an IterableAssert but an IteratorAssert.
    In order to access assertions from IterableAssert, use AbstractIteratorAssert.toIterable().
    IteratorAssert instances have limited assertions because it does not consume iterator's elements.
    Examples:
    Iterator<String> bestBasketBallPlayers = getBestBasketBallPlayers(); assertThat(bestBasketBallPlayers).hasNext() // Iterator assertion .toIterable() // switch to Iterable assertions .contains("Jordan", "Magic", "Lebron"); // Iterable assertion
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the type of elements.

    actual - the actual value.
    
    Returns:

public static <T extends AssertDelegateTarget> T assertThat(T assertion)
```
    Deprecated.
    Returns the given assertion. This method improves code readability by surrounding the given assertion with assertThat.
    Consider for example the following MyButton and MyButtonAssert classes:
    public class MyButton extends JButton { private boolean blinking; public boolean isBlinking() { return this.blinking; } public void setBlinking(boolean blink) { this.blinking = blink; } } private static class MyButtonAssert implements AssertDelegateTarget { private MyButton button; MyButtonAssert(MyButton button) { this.button = button; } void isBlinking() { // standard assertion from core Assertions.assertThat assertThat(button.isBlinking()).isTrue(); } void isNotBlinking() { // standard assertion from core Assertions.assertThat assertThat(button.isBlinking()).isFalse(); } }
    As MyButtonAssert implements AssertDelegateTarget, you can use assertThat(buttonAssert).isBlinking(); instead of buttonAssert.isBlinking(); to have easier to read assertions:
    @Test public void AssertDelegateTarget_example() { MyButton button = new MyButton(); MyButtonAssert buttonAssert = new MyButtonAssert(button); // you can encapsulate MyButtonAssert assertions methods within assertThat assertThat(buttonAssert).isNotBlinking(); // same as : buttonAssert.isNotBlinking(); button.setBlinking(true); assertThat(buttonAssert).isBlinking(); // same as : buttonAssert.isBlinking(); }
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the generic type of the user-defined assert.
    
    Parameters:
    
    assertion - the assertion to return.

  - assertThat
```
public static AbstractThrowableAssert<?,? extends Throwable> assertThat(Throwable actual)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Creates a new instance of ThrowableAssert.
    
    Parameters:
    
    actual - the actual value.
    
    Returns:
    
    the created ThrowableAssert.
  - assertThatThrownBy
```
public static AbstractThrowableAssert<?,? extends Throwable> assertThatThrownBy(ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable shouldRaiseThrowable)
```
    Deprecated.
    Allows to capture and then assert on a Throwable more easily when used with Java 8 lambdas.
    Java 8 example :
    @Test public void testException() { assertThatThrownBy(() -> { throw new Exception("boom!"); }).isInstanceOf(Exception.class) .hasMessageContaining("boom"); }
    
    Java 7 example :
    assertThatThrownBy(new ThrowingCallable() { @Override public void call() throws Exception { throw new Exception("boom!"); } }).isInstanceOf(Exception.class) .hasMessageContaining("boom");
    If the provided ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable does not raise an exception, an error is immediately thrown, 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.
    // assertion will fail but "display me" won't appear in the error assertThatThrownBy(() -> {}).as("display me") .isInstanceOf(Exception.class); // assertion will fail AND "display me" will appear in the error Throwable thrown = catchThrowable(() -> {}); assertThat(thrown).as("display me") .isInstanceOf(Exception.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.
  - assertThatThrownBy
```
public static AbstractThrowableAssert<?,? extends Throwable> assertThatThrownBy(ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable shouldRaiseThrowable,
                                                                                      String description,
                                                                                      Object... args)
```
    Deprecated.
    Allows to capture and then assert on a Throwable like assertThatThrownBy(ThrowingCallable) but this method let you set the assertion description the same way you do with as(String, Object...).
    Example:
    @Test public void testException() { // if this assertion failed (but it doesn't), the error message would start with [Test explosive code] assertThatThrownBy(() -> { throw new IOException("boom!") }, "Test explosive code") .isInstanceOf(IOException.class) .hasMessageContaining("boom"); }
    If the provided ThrowingCallable does not raise an exception, an error is immediately thrown.
    The test description provided is honored but not the one with as(String, Object...), example:
    // assertion will fail but "display me" won't appear in the error message assertThatThrownBy(() -> {}).as("display me") .isInstanceOf(Exception.class); // assertion will fail AND "display me" will appear in the error message assertThatThrownBy(() -> {}, "display me") .isInstanceOf(Exception.class);
    Parameters:
    
    shouldRaiseThrowable - The ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable or lambda with the code that should raise the throwable.
    
    description - the new description to set.
    
    args - optional parameter if description is a format String.
    
    Returns:
    
    the created ThrowableAssert.
    
    Since:
    
    3.9.0
  - assertThatCode
```
public static AbstractThrowableAssert<?,? extends Throwable> assertThatCode(ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable shouldRaiseOrNotThrowable)
```
    Deprecated.
    Allows to capture and then assert on a Throwable.
    Example :
    
    ThrowingCallable callable = new ThrowingCallable() { @Override public void call() throws Throwable { 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 = new ThrowingCallable() { @Override public void call() throws Throwable { // 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
  - assertThatObject
```
public <T> AbstractObjectAssert<?,T> assertThatObject(T actual)
```
    Deprecated.
    Creates a new instance of ObjectAssert for any object.
    This overload is useful, when an overloaded method of assertThat(...) takes precedence over the generic assertThat(Object).
    Example:
    Cast necessary because assertThat(List) "forgets" actual type:
    assertThat(new LinkedList<>(asList("abc"))).matches(list -> ((Deque<String>) list).getFirst().equals("abc"));
    No cast needed, but also no additional list assertions:
    assertThatObject(new LinkedList<>(asList("abc"))).matches(list -> list.getFirst().equals("abc"));
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the type of the actual value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    actual - the actual value.
    
    Returns:
    
    the created assertion object.
    
    Since:
    
    3.12.0
  - catchThrowable
```
public static Throwable catchThrowable(ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable shouldRaiseThrowable)
```
    Deprecated.
    Allows to catch an Throwable more easily when used with Java 8 lambdas.
    This caught Throwable can then be asserted.
    
    Java 8 example:
    @Test public void testException() { // when Throwable thrown = catchThrowable(() -> { throw new Exception("boom!"); }); // then assertThat(thrown).isInstanceOf(Exception.class) .hasMessageContaining("boom"); }
    
    Java 7 example:
    @Test public void testException() { // when Throwable thrown = catchThrowable(new ThrowingCallable() { @Override public void call() throws Exception { 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.
  - catchThrowableOfType
```
public static <THROWABLE extends Throwable> THROWABLE catchThrowableOfType(ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable shouldRaiseThrowable,

```
    Deprecated.
    Allows catching a Throwable of a specific type.
    A call is made to catchThrowable(ThrowingCallable), if no exception is thrown catchThrowableOfType returns null, otherwise it checks that the caught Throwable has the specified type then casts it to it before returning it, making it convenient to perform subtype-specific assertions on the result.
    Example:
    class CustomParseException extends Exception { int line; int column; public CustomParseException(String msg, int l, int c) { super(msg); line = l; column = c; } } CustomParseException e = catchThrowableOfType(() -> { throw new CustomParseException("boom!", 1, 5); }, CustomParseException.class); // assertions pass assertThat(e).hasMessageContaining("boom"); assertThat(e.line).isEqualTo(1); assertThat(e.column).isEqualTo(5); // fails as CustomParseException is not a RuntimeException catchThrowableOfType(() -> { throw new CustomParseException("boom!", 1, 5); }, RuntimeException.class);
    Type Parameters:
    
    THROWABLE - the Throwable type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    shouldRaiseThrowable - The lambda with the code that should raise the exception.
    
    type - The type of exception that the code is expected to raise.
    
    Returns:
    
    The captured exception or null if none was raised by the callable.

  - setLenientDateParsing
```
public static void setLenientDateParsing(boolean value)
```
    Deprecated.
    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

    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 :
    
    AbstractDateAssert.withDateFormat(String)
    
    AbstractDateAssert.withDateFormat(java.text.DateFormat)
    
    registerCustomDateFormat(java.text.DateFormat)
    
    registerCustomDateFormat(String)
    
    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)
```
    Deprecated.
    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 :
    
    AbstractDateAssert.withDateFormat(String)
    
    AbstractDateAssert.withDateFormat(java.text.DateFormat)
    
    registerCustomDateFormat(java.text.DateFormat)
    
    registerCustomDateFormat(String)
    
    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("yyyy/MM/dd"); assertThat(date).isEqualTo("2003/04/26"); // the default formats are still available and should work assertThat(date).isEqualTo("2003-04-26");
    Parameters:
    
    userCustomDateFormatPattern - the new Date format pattern used for String based Date assertions.
  - useDefaultDateFormatsOnly
```
public static void useDefaultDateFormatsOnly()
```
    Deprecated.
    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
