      Parameters:
      message - the expected root cause message.
      Returns:
      this assertion object.
      Throws:
      AssertionError - if the actual Throwable is null.
      AssertionError - if the root cause of the actual Throwable is null.
      AssertionError - if the message of the root cause of the actual Throwable is not equal to the given one.

    • hasRootCauseMessage

      public SELF hasRootCauseMessage(String message, Object... parameters)
      Verifies that the message of the root cause of the actual Throwable is equal to the given one, after being formatted using String.format(String, Object...) method.

      Example: 

      Throwable throwable = new Throwable(new IllegalStateException(new NullPointerException("expected message")));

 // assertion will pass
 assertThat(throwable).hasRootCauseMessage("%s %s", "expected", "message");

 // assertions will fail
 assertThat((Throwable) null).hasRootCauseMessage("%s %s", "expected", "message");
 assertThat(throwable).hasRootCauseMessage("%s", "message");
 assertThat(new Throwable()).hasRootCauseMessage("%s %s", "expected", "message");
 assertThat(new Throwable(new NullPointerException())).hasRootCauseMessage("%s %s", "expected", "message");
      Parameters:
      message - the expected root cause message.
      parameters - argument referenced by the format specifiers in the format string.
      Returns:
      this assertion object.
      Throws:
      AssertionError - if the actual Throwable is null.
      AssertionError - if the root cause of the actual Throwable is null.
      AssertionError - if the message of the root cause of the actual Throwable is not equal to the given one.
      IllegalFormatException - if the message contains an illegal syntax according to String.format(String, Object...).

    • hasNoSuppressedExceptions

      public SELF hasNoSuppressedExceptions()
      Verifies that the actual Throwable has no suppressed exceptions.

      Example: 

       // assertion will pass
 assertThat(new Throwable()).hasNoSuppressedExceptions();

 // assertion will fail
 Throwable throwableWithSuppressedException = new Throwable();
 throwableWithSuppressedException.addSuppressed(new IllegalArgumentException());
 assertThat(throwableWithSuppressedException).hasNoSuppressedExceptions();
      Returns:
      this assertion object.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if given type is null.
      AssertionError - if the actual Throwable has any suppressed exceptions.
      Since:
      2.6.0 / 3.6.0

    • hasSuppressedException

      public SELF hasSuppressedException(Throwable suppressedException)
      Verifies that the actual Throwable has a suppressed exception similar to the given one, that is with the same type and message (it does not use the equals method for comparison).

      Example: 

       Throwable throwable = new Throwable();
 Throwable invalidArgException = new IllegalArgumentException("invalid argument");
 throwable.addSuppressed(invalidArgException);

 // These assertions succeed:
 assertThat(throwable).hasSuppressedException(invalidArgException);
 assertThat(throwable).hasSuppressedException(new IllegalArgumentException("invalid argument"));

 // These assertions fail:
 assertThat(throwable).hasSuppressedException(new IllegalArgumentException("invalid parameter"));
 assertThat(throwable).hasSuppressedException(new NullPointerException());
      Parameters:
      suppressedException - the expected suppressed exception
      Returns:
      this assertion object.
      Throws:
      AssertionError - if the actual Throwable is null.
      AssertionError - if the actual Throwable does not have the given suppressed exception.
      Since:
      2.6.0 / 3.6.0

    • doesNotThrowAnyException

      public void doesNotThrowAnyException()
      Verifies that the ThrowableAssert.ThrowingCallable didn't raise a throwable.

      Example : 

       assertThatCode(() -> foo.bar()).doesNotThrowAnyException();
      Throws:
      AssertionError - if the actual statement raised a Throwable.
      Since:
      3.7.0

    • message

      public AbstractStringAssert<?> message()
      A shortcut for extracting(Throwable::getMessage, as(InstanceOfAssertFactories.STRING)) which allows to extract a throwable's message and then execute assertions on it.

      Note that once you have navigated to the throwable's message you can't navigate back to the throwable.

      Example : 

       Throwable throwable = new Throwable("boom!");

 // assertions succeed:
 assertThat(throwable).message().startsWith("boo")
                                .endsWith("!");
                                
 // assertion fails:
 assertThat(throwable).message().isEmpty();
      Returns:
      the created StringAssert on the throwable message.
