I have created a custom FEST Condition to verify that my actual string either matches or is equal to an expected String
public class StringMatchesOrIsEqualTo extends Condition<String>{
private String expectedStringOrExpression;
public StringMatchesOrIsEqualTo(final String expectedStringorExpression){
this.expectedStringOrExpression = expectedStringorExpression;
}
@Override
public boolean matches(String value) {
return value.matches(expectedStringOrExpression) || value.equals(expectedStringOrExpression);
}
}
Whenever the conditon fails i want it to display a message that shows me what the original and expected String was
currently the display string is
actual value:<'Some String'> should satisfy condition:<StringMatchesOrIsEqualTo>
is there a way that this message also displays what the match is made against ?
I tried overriding the toString method in the class
@Override
public String toString() {
return "string matches or is equal to : " + expectedStringOrExpression;
}
but that does not seem to work.
You want to set the description
, which can be done by calling the Condition(String)
constructor:
public StringMatchesOrIsEqualTo(final String expectedStringorExpression){
super("A String that matches, or is equal to, '" + expectedStringorExpression "'");
this.expectedStringOrExpression = expectedStringorExpression;
}
Alternatively, you could override description()
:
@Override
public String description()
{
return "A String that matches, or is equal to, '" + expectedStringorExpression "'");
}
