      • as

        public SELF as​(Description description)
        Description copied from interface: Descriptable
        Sets the description of the assertion that is going to be called after.

        You must set it before calling the assertion otherwise it is ignored as the failing assertion breaks the chained call by throwing an AssertionError.

        This overloaded version of "describedAs" offers more flexibility than the one taking a String by allowing users to pass their own implementation of a description. For example, a description that creates its value lazily, only when an assertion failure occurs.

        Parameters:
        description - the new description to set.
        Returns:
        this object.

      • as

        public SELF as​(String description,
               Object... args)
        Description copied from interface: Descriptable
        Sets the description of the assertion that is going to be called after.

        You must set it before calling the assertion otherwise it is ignored as the failing assertion breaks the chained call by throwing an AssertionError.

        The description follows String.format(String, Object...) syntax.

        Example : 

         try {
   // set an incorrect age to Mr Frodo which is really 33 years old.
   frodo.setAge(50);
   // specify a test description (call as() before the assertion !), it supports String format syntax.
   assertThat(frodo.getAge()).as("check %s's age", frodo.getName()).isEqualTo(33);
 } catch (AssertionError e) {
   assertThat(e).hasMessage("[check Frodo's age]\n
                             expected: 33\n
                              but was: 50");
 }
        Parameters:
        description - the new description to set.
        args - optional parameter if description is a format String.
        Returns:
        this object.

      • isEqualToIgnoringNullFields

        @Deprecated
public SELF isEqualToIgnoringNullFields​(Object other)
        Deprecated.
        Use the recursive comparison by calling usingRecursiveComparison() and chain with ignoringExpectedNullFields().

        This method is deprecated because it only compares the first level of fields while the recursive comparison traverses all fields recursively (only stopping at java types).

        For example suppose actual and expected are of type A which has the following structure: 

         A
 |— B b
 |    |— String s
 |    |— C c
 |         |— String s
 |         |— Date d
 |— int i
        isEqualToIgnoringNullFields will compare actual and expected A.b and A.i fields but not B fields (it calls B equals method instead comparing B fields).
        The recursive comparison on the other hand will introspect B fields and then C fields and will compare actual and expected respective fields values, that is: A.i, A.B.s, A.B.C.s and A.B.C.d.

        Concretely instead of writing: 

         assertThat(actual).isEqualToIgnoringNullFields(expected);
        You should write: 
         assertThat(actual).usingRecursiveComparison()
                   .ignoringExpectedNullFields()
                   .isEqualTo(expected);

        Note that the recursive comparison also allows to ignore actual's null fields with ignoringActualNullFields(). Original javadoc

        Asserts that the actual object is equal to the given one by comparing actual's properties/fields with other's not null properties/fields only (including inherited ones).

        It means that if an actual field is not null and the corresponding field in other is null, this field will be ignored in comparison, but the opposite will make assertion fail (null field in actual, not null in other) as the field is used in the performed comparison and the values differ.

        Note that comparison is not recursive, if one of the field is an Object, it will be compared to the other field using its equals method.

        If an object has a field and a property with the same name, the property value will be used over the field.

        Private fields are used in comparison but this can be disabled using Assertions.setAllowComparingPrivateFields(boolean), if disabled only accessible fields values are compared, accessible fields include directly accessible fields (e.g. public) or fields with an accessible getter.

        The objects to compare can be of different types but the properties/fields used in comparison must exist in both, for example if actual object has a name String field, it is expected other object to also have one.

        Example: 

         TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33, HOBBIT);
 TolkienCharacter mysteriousHobbit = new TolkienCharacter(null, 33, HOBBIT);

 // Null fields in other/expected object are ignored, the mysteriousHobbit has null name thus name is ignored
 assertThat(frodo).isEqualToIgnoringNullFields(mysteriousHobbit); // OK

 // ... but this is not reversible !
 assertThat(mysteriousHobbit).isEqualToIgnoringNullFields(frodo); // FAIL
        Parameters:
        other - the object to compare actual to.
        Returns:
        this assertion object.
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if the actual or other object is null.
        AssertionError - if the actual and the given object are not lenient equals.
        IntrospectionError - if one of actual's field to compare can't be found in the other object.

        @Deprecated
public SELF isEqualToComparingOnlyGivenFields​(Object other,
                                              String... propertiesOrFieldsUsedInComparison)
        Deprecated.
        Use the recursive comparison by calling usingRecursiveComparison() and specify the fields to ignore.

        Warning: the recursive comparison does not provide a strictly equivalent feature, instead it provides several ways to ignore fields in the comparison by specifying fields to ignore, or fields by type or fields matching regexes. The idea being that it is best to compare as many fields as possible and only ignore the ones that are not relevant (for example generated ids).

        This method is deprecated because it only compares the first level of fields while the recursive comparison traverses all fields recursively (only stopping at java types).

        For example suppose actual and expected are of type A which has the following structure: 

         A
 |— B b
 |    |— String s
 |    |— C c
 |         |— String s
 |         |— Date d
 |— int i
        isEqualToComparingOnlyGivenFields will compare actual and expected A.b and A.i fields but not B fields (it calls B equals method instead comparing B fields).
        The recursive comparison on the other hand will introspect B fields and then C fields and will compare actual and expected respective fields values, that is: A.i, A.B.s, A.B.C.s and A.B.C.d.

        Assuming actual has 4 fields f1, f2, f3, f4, instead of writing: 

         assertThat(actual).isEqualToComparingOnlyGivenFields(expected, f1, f2);
        You should write: 
         assertThat(actual).usingRecursiveComparison()
                   .ignoringFields(f3, f4)
                   .isEqualTo(expected);
        Original javadoc

        Asserts that the actual object is equal to the given one using a property/field by property/field comparison on the given properties/fields only (fields can be inherited fields or nested fields). This can be handy if equals implementation of objects to compare does not suit you.

        Note that comparison is not recursive, if one of the field is an Object, it will be compared to the other field using its equals method.

        If an object has a field and a property with the same name, the property value will be used over the field.

        Private fields are used in comparison but this can be disabled using Assertions.setAllowComparingPrivateFields(boolean), if disabled only accessible fields values are compared, accessible fields include directly accessible fields (e.g. public) or fields with an accessible getter.

        Example: 

         TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33, HOBBIT);
 TolkienCharacter sam = new TolkienCharacter("Sam", 38, HOBBIT);

 // frodo and sam both are hobbits, so they are equals when comparing only race
 assertThat(frodo).isEqualToComparingOnlyGivenFields(sam, "race"); // OK

 // they are also equals when comparing only race name (nested field).
 assertThat(frodo).isEqualToComparingOnlyGivenFields(sam, "race.name"); // OK

 // ... but not when comparing both name and race
 assertThat(frodo).isEqualToComparingOnlyGivenFields(sam, "name", "race"); // FAIL
        Parameters:
        other - the object to compare actual to.
        propertiesOrFieldsUsedInComparison - properties/fields used in comparison.
        Returns:
        this assertion object.
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if the actual or other is null.
        AssertionError - if the actual and the given objects are not equals property/field by property/field on given fields.
        IntrospectionError - if one of actual's property/field to compare can't be found in the other object.
        IntrospectionError - if a property/field does not exist in actual.

      • hasFieldOrProperty

        public SELF hasFieldOrProperty​(String name)
        Asserts that the actual object has the specified field or property. Static and synthetic fields are ignored since 3.19.0.

        Private fields are matched by default but this can be changed by calling Assertions.setAllowExtractingPrivateFields(false).

        Example: 

         public class TolkienCharacter {

   private String name;
   private int age;
   // constructor omitted

   public String getName() {
     return this.name;
   }
 }

 // assertions will pass :
 assertThat(frodo).hasFieldOrProperty("name")
                  .hasFieldOrProperty("age"); // private field are matched by default

 // assertions will fail :
 assertThat(frodo).hasFieldOrProperty("not_exists");
 assertThat(frodo).hasFieldOrProperty(null);
 // disable looking for private fields
 Assertions.setAllowExtractingPrivateFields(false);
 assertThat(frodo).hasFieldOrProperty("age");
        Parameters:
        name - the field/property name to check
        Returns:
        this assertion object.
        Throws:
        AssertionError - if the actual object is null.
        IllegalArgumentException - if name is null.
        AssertionError - if the actual object does not have the given field/property

      • hasFieldOrPropertyWithValue

        public SELF hasFieldOrPropertyWithValue​(String name,
                                        Object value)
        Asserts that the actual object has the specified field or property with the given value. Static and synthetic fields are ignored since 3.19.0.

        Private fields are matched by default but this can be changed by calling Assertions.setAllowExtractingPrivateFields(false).

        If you are looking to chain multiple assertions on different properties in a type safe way, consider chaining returns(Object, Function) calls.

        Example:

   private String name;
   private int age;
   // constructor omitted

   public String getName() {
     return this.name;
   }
 }

 TolkienCharacter noname = new TolkienCharacter(null, 33);

 // assertions will pass :
 assertThat(frodo).hasFieldOrPropertyWithValue("name", "Frodo");
 assertThat(frodo).hasFieldOrPropertyWithValue("age", 33);
 assertThat(noname).hasFieldOrPropertyWithValue("name", null);

 // assertions will fail :

        value - the field/property expected value
        Returns:
        this assertion object.
        Throws:
        AssertionError - if the actual object is null.
        IllegalArgumentException - if name is null.
        AssertionError - if the actual object does not have the given field/property
        AssertionError - if the actual object has the given field/property but not with the expected value

      • hasOnlyFields

        public SELF hasOnlyFields​(String... expectedFieldNames)
        Asserts that the actual object has only the specified fields and nothing else.

        The assertion only checks declared fields (inherited fields are not checked) that are not static or synthetic.

        By default private fields are included in the check, this can be disabled with Assertions.setAllowExtractingPrivateFields(false); but be mindful this is has a global effect on all field introspection in AssertJ.

        Example: 

         public class TolkienCharacter {

   private String name;
   public int age;

   public String getName() {
     return this.name;
   }
 }

 TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33);

 // assertion succeeds:
 assertThat(frodo).hasOnlyFields("name", "age");

 // assertions fail:
 assertThat(frodo).hasOnlyFields("name");
 assertThat(frodo).hasOnlyFields("not_exists");
 assertThat(frodo).hasOnlyFields(null);
        Parameters:
        expectedFieldNames - the expected field names actual should have
        Returns:
        this assertion object.
        Throws:
        AssertionError - if the actual object is null.
        IllegalArgumentException - if expectedFieldNames is null.
        AssertionError - if the actual object does not have the expected fields (without extra ones)

        3.19.0

      • extracting

        public AbstractListAssert<?,​List<?>,​Object,​ObjectAssert<Object>> extracting​(String... propertiesOrFields)
        Extracts the values of given fields/properties from the object under test into a list, this new list becoming the object under test.

        If you extract "id", "name" and "email" fields/properties then the list will contain the id, name and email values of the object under test, you can then perform list assertions on the extracted values.

        If the object under test is a Map with String keys, extracting will extract values matching the given fields/properties.

        Nested fields/properties are supported, specifying "adress.street.number" is equivalent to: 

         // "adress.street.number" corresponding to pojo properties
 actual.getAdress().getStreet().getNumber();
        or if address is a Map: 
         // "adress" is a Map property (that is getAdress() returns a Map)
 actual.getAdress().get("street").getNumber();

        Private fields can be extracted unless you call Assertions.setAllowExtractingPrivateFields(false).

        Example: 

         // Create frodo, setting its name, age and Race (Race having a name property)
 TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33, HOBBIT);

 // let's verify Frodo's name, age and race name:
 assertThat(frodo).extracting("name", "age", "race.name")
                  .containsExactly("Frodo", 33, "Hobbit");
        A property with the given name is looked for first, if it doesn't exist then a field with the given name is looked for, if the field is not accessible (i.e. does not exist) an IntrospectionError is thrown.

        Note that the order of extracted values is consistent with the order of the given property/field.

        Parameters:
        propertiesOrFields - the properties/fields to extract from the initial object under test
        Returns:
        a new assertion object whose object under test is the list containing the extracted properties/fields values
        Throws:
        IntrospectionError - if one of the given name does not match a field or property

      • extracting

        public AbstractObjectAssert<?,​?> extracting​(String propertyOrField)
        Extracts the value of given field/property from the object under test, the extracted value becoming the new object under test.

        If the object under test is a Map, the propertyOrField parameter is used as a key to the map.

        Nested fields/properties are supported, specifying "adress.street.number" is equivalent to: 

         // "adress.street.number" corresponding to pojo properties
 actual.getAdress().getStreet().getNumber();
        or if address is a Map: 
         // "adress" is a Map property (that is getAdress() returns a Map)
 actual.getAdress().get("street").getNumber();

        Private field can be extracted unless you call Assertions.setAllowExtractingPrivateFields(false).

        Note that since the value is extracted as an Object, only Object assertions can be chained after extracting.

        Example: 

         // Create frodo, setting its name, age and Race (Race having a name property)
 TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33, HOBBIT);

 // let's extract and verify Frodo's name:
 assertThat(frodo).extracting("name")
                  .isEqualTo("Frodo");
 // or its race name:
 assertThat(frodo).extracting("race.name")
                  .isEqualTo("Hobbit");

 // The extracted value being a String, we would like to use String assertions but we can't due to Java generics limitations.
 // The following assertion does NOT compile:
 assertThat(frodo).extracting("name")
                  .startsWith("Fro");

 // To get String assertions, use extracting(String, InstanceOfAssertFactory):
 assertThat(frodo).extracting("name", as(InstanceOfAssertFactories.STRING))
                  .startsWith("Fro");

        A property with the given name is looked for first, if it doesn't exist then a field with the given name is looked for, if the field is not accessible (i.e. does not exist) an IntrospectionError is thrown.

        Parameters:
        propertyOrField - the property/field to extract from the initial object under test
        Returns:
        a new ObjectAssert instance whose object under test is the extracted property/field value
        Throws:
        IntrospectionError - if one of the given name does not match a field or property

        Extracts the value of given field/property from the object under test, the extracted value becoming the new object under test.

        If the object under test is a Map, the propertyOrField parameter is used as a key to the map.

        Nested field/property is supported, specifying "address.street.number" is equivalent to get the value corresponding to actual.getAddress().getStreet().getNumber()

      • isEqualToComparingFieldByFieldRecursively

        @Deprecated
public SELF isEqualToComparingFieldByFieldRecursively​(Object other)
        Deprecated.
        Prefer calling usingRecursiveComparison() for comparing objects field by field as it offers more flexibility, better reporting and an easier to use API. Asserts that the object under test (actual) is equal to the given object based on a recursive property/field by property/field comparison (including inherited ones). This can be useful if actual's equals implementation does not suit you. The recursive property/field comparison is not applied on fields having a custom equals implementation, i.e. the overridden equals method will be used instead of a field by field comparison.

        The recursive comparison handles cycles. By default floats are compared with a precision of 1.0E-6 and doubles with 1.0E-15.

        You can specify a custom comparator per (nested) fields or type with respectively usingComparatorForFields(Comparator, String...) and usingComparatorForType(Comparator, Class).

        The objects to compare can be of different types but must have the same properties/fields. For example if actual object has a name String field, it is expected the other object to also have one. If an object has a field and a property with the same name, the property value will be used over the field.

        Example: 

         public class Person {
   public String name;
   public double height;
   public Home home = new Home();
   public Person bestFriend;
   // constructor with name and height omitted for brevity
 }

 public class Home {
   public Address address = new Address();
 }

 public static class Address {
   public int number = 1;
 }

 Person jack = new Person("Jack", 1.80);
 jack.home.address.number = 123;

 Person jackClone = new Person("Jack", 1.80);
 jackClone.home.address.number = 123;

 // cycle are handled in comparison
 jack.bestFriend = jackClone;
 jackClone.bestFriend = jack;

 // will fail as equals compares object references
 assertThat(jack).isEqualTo(jackClone);

 // jack and jackClone are equals when doing a recursive field by field comparison
 assertThat(jack).isEqualToComparingFieldByFieldRecursively(jackClone);

 // any type/field can be compared with a a specific comparator.
 // let's change  jack's height a little bit
 jack.height = 1.81;

 // assertion fails because of the height difference
 // (the default precision comparison for double is 1.0E-15)
 assertThat(jack).isEqualToComparingFieldByFieldRecursively(jackClone);

 // this succeeds because we allow a 0.5 tolerance on double
 assertThat(jack).usingComparatorForType(new DoubleComparator(0.5), Double.class)
                 .isEqualToComparingFieldByFieldRecursively(jackClone);

 // you can set a comparator on specific fields (nested fields are supported)
 assertThat(jack).usingComparatorForFields(new DoubleComparator(0.5), "height")
                 .isEqualToComparingFieldByFieldRecursively(jackClone);
        Parameters:
        other - the object to compare actual to.
        Returns:
        this assertion object.
        Throws:
        AssertionError - if the actual object is null.
        AssertionError - if the actual and the given objects are not deeply equal property/field by property/field.
        IntrospectionError - if one property/field to compare can not be found.

        public <T> SELF returns​(T expected,
                        Function<ACTUAL,​T> from)
        Verifies that the object under test returns the given expected value from the given Function, a typical usage is to pass a method reference to assert object's property.

        Wrapping the given Function with Assertions.from(Function) makes the assertion more readable.

        Example: 

         // from is not mandatory but it makes the assertions more readable
 assertThat(frodo).returns("Frodo", from(TolkienCharacter::getName))
                  .returns("Frodo", TolkienCharacter::getName) // no from :(
                  .returns(HOBBIT, from(TolkienCharacter::getRace));
        Type Parameters:
        T - the expected value type the given method returns.
        Parameters:
        expected - the value the object under test method's call should return.
        from - Function used to acquire the value to test from the object under test. Must not be null
        Returns:
        this assertion object.
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if given from function is null

      • usingRecursiveComparison

        public RecursiveComparisonAssert<?> usingRecursiveComparison()
        Enable using a recursive field by field comparison strategy when calling the chained isEqualTo assertion.

        The detailed documentation available here: https://assertj.github.io/doc/#assertj-core-recursive-comparison.

        Example: 

         public class Person {
   String name;
   double height;
   Home home = new Home();
 }

 public class Home {
   Address address = new Address();
   Date ownedSince;
 }

 public static class Address {
   int number;
   String street;
 }

 Person sherlock = new Person("Sherlock", 1.80);
 sherlock.home.ownedSince = new Date(123);
 sherlock.home.address.street = "Baker Street";
 sherlock.home.address.number = 221;

 Person sherlock2 = new Person("Sherlock", 1.80);
 sherlock2.home.ownedSince = new Date(123);
 sherlock2.home.address.street = "Baker Street";
 sherlock2.home.address.number = 221;

 // assertion succeeds as the data of both objects are the same.
 assertThat(sherlock).usingRecursiveComparison()
                     .isEqualTo(sherlock2);

 // assertion fails because sherlock.equals(sherlock2) is false.
 assertThat(sherlock).isEqualTo(sherlock2);

        The recursive comparison is performed according to the default RecursiveComparisonConfiguration that is:

        • actual and expected objects and their fields were compared field by field recursively even if they were not of the same type, this allows for example to compare a Person to a PersonDto (call withStrictTypeChecking() to change that behavior).
        • overridden equals methods were used in the comparison (unless stated otherwise)
        • these types were compared with the following comparators:

        It is possible to change the comparison behavior, among things what you can is:

        • Choosing a strict or lenient recursive comparison (lenient being the default which allows to compare different types like Book and BookDto
        • Ignoring fields in the comparison
        • Specifying comparators to use in the comparison per fields and types
        • Forcing recursive comparison on classes that have redefined equals (by default overridden equals are used)
