Class BDDAssertions

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    InstanceOfAssertFactories

    public class BDDAssertions
    extends Assertions
    Behavior-driven development style entry point for assertion methods for different types. Each method in this class is a static factory for a type-specific assertion object.

    The difference with the Assertions class is that entry point methods are named then instead of assertThat.

    For example:

     @Test
     public void bdd_assertions_example() {
       //given
       List<BasketBallPlayer> bulls = new ArrayList<>();
    
       //when
       bulls.add(rose);
       bulls.add(noah);
    
       then(bulls).contains(rose, noah).doesNotContain(james);
     }
    Use and to avoid clash with other libraries (like BDDMockito) exposing 'then(object)'. You might have to ignore a warning like: The static method BDDAssertions.then() should be accessed in a static way.

    • Field Detail

      • and

        public static final BDDAssertions and
        A BDDAssertions which allows to blend assertions with other libraries when the name 'then' cause clash.

        Examples:

         import static org.assertj.core.api.BDDAssertions.and;
         import static org.mockito.BDDMockito.then;
         import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;
         import static org.mockito.Mockito.times;
        
         // suppress and.then warning: The static method BDDAssertions.then() should be accessed in a static way
         @SuppressWarnings("static-access")
         @Test
         public void bdd_assertions_with_bdd_mockito() {
           // GIVEN
           Person person = mock(Person.class)
           // WHEN
           person.ride(bike);
           person.ride(bike);
           // THEN
           // mockito then()
           then(person).should(times(2)).ride(bike);
           // use AssertJ and.then(person) as then(person) would clash with mockito then(person)
           and.then(person.hasBike()).isTrue();
         }

        Can also be used to add extra readability:

         import static org.assertj.core.api.BDDAssertions.and;
         import static org.assertj.core.api.BDDAssertions.then;
        
         // suppress and.then warning: The static method BDDAssertions.then() should be accessed in a static way
         @SuppressWarnings("static-access")
         @Test
         public void bdd_assertions_with_and_field() {
           // ...
           then(person.hasBike()).isTrue()
           and.then(bike.isNew()).isFalse();
         }

         Iterator<String> bestBasketBallPlayers = getBestBasketBallPlayers();
        
         then(bestBasketBallPlayers).hasNext() // Iterator assertion

      • thenThrownBy

        public static AbstractThrowableAssert<?,​? extends Throwable> thenThrownBy​(ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable shouldRaiseThrowable)
        Allows to capture and then assert on a Throwable (easier done with lambdas).

        Example :

         @Test
          public void testException() {
            thenThrownBy(() -> { 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(ThrowingCallable) as shown below:
         // assertion will fail but "display me" won't appear in the error
         thenThrownBy(() -> {}).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);
        Alternatively you can also use assertThatCode(ThrowingCallable) for the test description provided with as(String, Object...) to always be honored.
        Parameters:
        shouldRaiseThrowable - The ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable or lambda with the code that should raise the throwable.
        Returns:
        the created ThrowableAssert.
      • thenThrownBy

        public static AbstractThrowableAssert<?,​? extends Throwable> thenThrownBy​(ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable shouldRaiseThrowable,

                                                                                        Object... args)
        Allows to capture and then assert on a Throwable like thenThrownBy(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]
            thenThrownBy(() -> { 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
         thenThrownBy(() -> {}).as("display me")
                               .isInstanceOf(Exception.class);
        
         // assertion will fail AND "display me" will appear in the error message
         thenThrownBy(() -> {}, "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.

        3.9.0
      • thenCode

        public static AbstractThrowableAssert<?,​? extends Throwable> thenCode​(ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable shouldRaiseOrNotThrowable)
        Allows to capture and then assert on a Throwable more easily when used with Java 8 lambdas.

        Example :

         ThrowingCallable callable = () -> {
           throw new Exception("boom!");
         };
        
         // assertion succeeds
         thenCode(callable).isInstanceOf(Exception.class)
                           .hasMessageContaining("boom");
        
         // assertion fails
         thenCode(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(ThrowingCallable) as shown below.
         ThrowingCallable doNothing = () -> {
           // do nothing
         };
        
         // assertion fails and "display me" appears in the assertion error
         thenCode(doNothing).as("display me")
                            .isInstanceOf(Exception.class);
        
         // assertion will fail AND "display me" will appear in the error
         Throwable thrown = catchThrowable(doNothing);
         thenCode(thrown).as("display me")
                         .isInstanceOf(Exception.class); 

        This method was not named then 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.

      • thenObject

        public static <T> ObjectAssert<T> thenObject​(T actual)
        Creates a new instance of ObjectAssert for any object.

        This overload is useful, when an overloaded method of then(...) takes precedence over the generic then(Object).

        Example:

        Cast necessary because then(List) "forgets" actual type:

        then(new LinkedList<>(asList("abc"))).matches(list -> ((Deque<String>) list).getFirst().equals("abc")); 
        No cast needed, but also no additional list assertions:
        thenObject(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.

                                                   Consumer<T>... requirements)
        Uses the given instance as the instance under test for all the assertions expressed as the passed Consumers.

        This is useful to avoid repeating getting the instance to test, a bit like a with block which turns the target into the equivalent of this (as in Groovy for example).

        Example:

         thenWith(team.getPlayers().get(0).getStats(),
                    stat -> assertThat(stats.pointPerGame).isGreaterThan(25.7),
                    stat -> assertThat(stats.assistsPerGame).isGreaterThan(7.2),
                    stat -> assertThat(stats.reboundsPerGame).isBetween(9, 12)
                    );

        thenWith is variation of AbstractAssert.satisfies(Consumer[]) hopefully easier to find for some users.

        Type Parameters:
        T - the type of the actual value.
        Parameters:

        public static <T extends AssertDelegateTarget> T then​(T assertion)
        Returns the given assertion. This method improves code readability by surrounding the given assertion with then.

        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.then
             then(button.isBlinking()).isTrue();
           }
        
           void isNotBlinking() {
             // standard assertion from core Assertions.then
             then(button.isBlinking()).isFalse();
           }
         }
        As MyButtonAssert implements AssertDelegateTarget, you can use then(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 then
           then(buttonAssert).isNotBlinking(); // same as : buttonAssert.isNotBlinking();
        
           button.setBlinking(true);
        
           then(buttonAssert).isBlinking(); // same as : buttonAssert.isBlinking();
         }
        Type Parameters:
        T - the generic type of the user-defined assert.

        public static <ELEMENT> ListAssert<ELEMENT> then​(Stream<? extends ELEMENT> actual)
        Creates a new instance of ListAssert from the given Stream.

        Be aware that the Stream under test will be converted to a List when an assertions require to inspect its content. Once this is done the Stream can't reused as it would have been consumed.

        Calling multiple methods on the returned ListAssert is safe as it only interacts with the List built from the Stream.

        Examples:

         then(Stream.of(1, 2, 3)).contains(1)

         then(Stream.of(1, 2, 3)).isEqualTo(Stream.of(1, 2, 3));

        These assertions succeed as isEqualTo and isSameAs checks references which does not require to convert the Stream to a List.

      • catchThrowable

        public static Throwable catchThrowable​(ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable shouldRaiseThrowable)
        Allows catching a Throwable more easily when used with Java 8 lambdas.

        This caught Throwable can then be asserted.

        If you need to assert on the real type of Throwable caught (e.g. IOException), use catchThrowableOfType(ThrowingCallable, Class).

        Example:

        @Test
         public void testException() {
           // when
           Throwable thrown = catchThrowable(() -> { 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.

        Only delegate to Properties.extractProperty(String) so that Assertions offers a full feature entry point to all AssertJ features (but you can use Properties if you prefer).

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

         // extract simple property values having a java standard type (here String)
         assertThat(extractProperty("name", String.class).from(fellowshipOfTheRing))
                   .contains("Boromir", "Gandalf", "Frodo", "Legolas")

                   .doesNotContain("Orc");
        Type Parameters:
        T - the type of value to extract.
        Parameters:
        propertyName - the name of the property to be read from the elements of a Iterable. It may be a nested property (e.g. "address.street.number").
        propertyType - the type of property to extract
        Returns:

        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");

         // 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(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

        An alternative way of using a different representation is to register one as a service, this approach is described in Representation, it requires more work than this method but has the advantage of not having to do anything in your tests and it would be applied to all the tests globally

        Example :

         private class Example {}
        
         private class CustomRepresentation extends StandardRepresentation {
        
           // override needed to hook specific formatting
           @Override
           public String toStringOf(Object o) {
             if (o instanceof Example) return "Example";
             // fallback to default formatting.
             return super.toStringOf(o);
           }
        
           // change String representation
           @Override
           protected String toStringOf(String s) {
             return "$" + s + "$";
           }
         }
        
         Assertions.useRepresentation(new CustomRepresentation());
        
         // this assertion fails ...
         assertThat(new Example()).isNull();
         // ... with error :
         // "expected:<[null]> but was:<[Example]>"
        
         // this one fails ...
         assertThat("foo").startsWith("bar");
         // ... with error :
         // Expecting:
         //   <$foo$>
         // to start with:
         //   <$bar$>
        Parameters:
        customRepresentation - the Representation to use

      • registerFormatterForType

        public static <T> void registerFormatterForType​(Class<T> type,
                                                        Function<T,​String> formatter)
        Assertions error messages uses a Representation to format the different types involved, using this method you can control the formatting of a given type by providing a specific formatter.

        Registering a formatter makes it available for all AssertJ Representation:

        Example :

         // without specific formatter
         assertThat(STANDARD_REPRESENTATION.toStringOf(123L)).isEqualTo("123L");
        
         // register a formatter for Long
         Assertions.registerFormatterForType(Long.class, value -> "$" + value + "$");
        
         // now Long will be formatted between in $$ in error message.
         assertThat(STANDARD_REPRESENTATION.toStringOf(longNumber)).isEqualTo("$123$");
        
         // fails with error : expected:<$456$> but was:<$123$>
         assertThat(123L).isEqualTo(456L);
        Type Parameters:
        T - the type of format.
        Parameters:
        type - the class of the type to format
        formatter - the formatter Function
