ProtoFluentAssertion (Truth (Parent) 0.31 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

ProtoSubject
```
public interface ProtoFluentAssertion
```
Fluent API to perform detailed, customizable comparison of Protocol buffers.
Methods may be chained in any order, but the chain should terminate with isEqualTo(Object) or isNotEqualTo(Object).
The state of a ProtoFluentAssertion object after each method is called is left undefined. Users should not retain references to ProtoFluentAssertion instances.

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`boolean`	`equals(Object o)` Deprecated. Do not call `equals()` on a `ProtoFluentAssertion`. Use `isEqualTo(Object)` instead.
`int`	`hashCode()` Deprecated. `ProtoFluentAssertion` does not support `hashCode()`. Use `isEqualTo(Object)` for testing.
`ProtoFluentAssertion`	`ignoringFieldAbsence()` Specifies that the 'has' bit of individual fields should be ignored when comparing for equality.
`ProtoFluentAssertion`	`ignoringFieldDescriptors(com.google.protobuf.Descriptors.FieldDescriptor firstFieldDescriptor, com.google.protobuf.Descriptors.FieldDescriptor... rest)` Excludes all message fields matching the given `Descriptors.FieldDescriptor`s from the comparison.
`ProtoFluentAssertion`	`ignoringFields(int firstFieldNumber, int... rest)` Excludes the top-level message fields with the given tag numbers from the comparison.
`ProtoFluentAssertion`	`ignoringFieldScope(FieldScope fieldScope)` Excludes all specific field paths under the argument `FieldScope` from the comparison.
`ProtoFluentAssertion`	`ignoringRepeatedFieldOrder()` Specifies that the ordering of repeated fields, at all levels, should be ignored when comparing for equality.
`void`	`isEqualTo(Object expected)` Compares the subject of the assertion to `expected`, using all of the rules specified by earlier operations.
`void`	`isNotEqualTo(Object expected)` Compares the subject of the assertion to `expected`, expecting a difference, using all of the rules specified by earlier operations.
`ProtoFluentAssertion`	`reportingMismatchesOnly()` If set, in the event of a comparison failure, the error message printed will list only those specific fields that did not match between the actual and expected values.
`ProtoFluentAssertion`	`withPartialScope(FieldScope fieldScope)` Limits the comparison of Protocol buffers to the defined `FieldScope`.

- Method Detail
  - ignoringFieldAbsence
```
ProtoFluentAssertion ignoringFieldAbsence()
```
    Specifies that the 'has' bit of individual fields should be ignored when comparing for equality.
    For version 2 Protocol Buffers, this setting determines whether two protos with the same value for a primitive field compare equal if one explicitly sets the value, and the other merely implicitly uses the schema-defined default. This setting also determines whether unknown fields should be considered in the comparison. By ignoringFieldAbsence(), unknown fields are ignored, and value-equal fields as specified above are considered equal.
    For version 3 Protocol Buffers, this setting has no effect. Primitive fields set to their default value are indistinguishable from unset fields in proto 3. Proto 3 also eliminates unknown fields, so this setting has no effect there either.
  - ignoringRepeatedFieldOrder
```
ProtoFluentAssertion ignoringRepeatedFieldOrder()
```
    Specifies that the ordering of repeated fields, at all levels, should be ignored when comparing for equality.
    This setting applies to all repeated fields recursively, but it does not ignore structure. For example, with ignoringRepeatedFieldOrder(), a repeated int32 field bar, set inside a repeated message field foo, the following protos will all compare equal:
```
message1: {
   foo: {
     bar: 1
     bar: 2
   }
   foo: {
     bar: 3
     bar: 4
   }
 }

 message2: {
   foo: {
     bar: 2
     bar: 1
   }
   foo: {
     bar: 4
     bar: 3
   }
 }

 message3: {
   foo: {
     bar: 4
     bar: 3
   }
   foo: {
     bar: 2
     bar: 1
   }
 }
 
```
    However, the following message will compare equal to none of these:
```
message4: {
   foo: {
     bar: 1
     bar: 3
   }
   foo: {
     bar: 2
     bar: 4
   }
 }
 
```
    This setting does not apply to map fields, for which field order is always ignored. The serialization order of map fields is undefined, and it may change from runtime to runtime.
  - withPartialScope
```
ProtoFluentAssertion withPartialScope(FieldScope fieldScope)
```
    Limits the comparison of Protocol buffers to the defined FieldScope.
    This method is additive and has well-defined ordering semantics. If the invoking ProtoFluentAssertion is already scoped to a FieldScope X, and this method is invoked with FieldScope Y, the resultant ProtoFluentAssertion is constrained to the intersection of FieldScopes X and Y.
    By default, ProtoFluentAssertion is constrained to FieldScopes.all(), that is, no fields are excluded from comparison.
  - ignoringFields
```
ProtoFluentAssertion ignoringFields(int firstFieldNumber,
                                  int... rest)
```
    Excludes the top-level message fields with the given tag numbers from the comparison.
    This method adds on any previous FieldScope related settings, overriding previous changes to ensure the specified fields are ignored recursively. All sub-fields of these field numbers are ignored, and all sub-messages of type M will also have these field numbers ignored.
    If an invalid field number is supplied, the terminal comparison operation will throw a runtime exception.
  - ignoringFieldDescriptors
```
ProtoFluentAssertion ignoringFieldDescriptors(com.google.protobuf.Descriptors.FieldDescriptor firstFieldDescriptor,
                                            com.google.protobuf.Descriptors.FieldDescriptor... rest)
```
    Excludes all message fields matching the given Descriptors.FieldDescriptors from the comparison.
    This method adds on any previous FieldScope related settings, overriding previous changes to ensure the specified fields are ignored recursively. All sub-fields of these field descriptors are ignored, no matter where they occur in the tree.
    If a field descriptor which does not, or cannot occur in the proto structure is supplied, it is silently ignored.
  - ignoringFieldScope
```
ProtoFluentAssertion ignoringFieldScope(FieldScope fieldScope)
```
    Excludes all specific field paths under the argument FieldScope from the comparison.
    This method is additive and has well-defined ordering semantics. If the invoking ProtoFluentAssertion is already scoped to a FieldScope X, and this method is invoked with FieldScope Y, the resultant ProtoFluentAssertion is constrained to the subtraction of X - Y.
    By default, ProtoFluentAssertion is constrained to FieldScopes.all(), that is, no fields are excluded from comparison.
  - reportingMismatchesOnly
```
ProtoFluentAssertion reportingMismatchesOnly()
```
    If set, in the event of a comparison failure, the error message printed will list only those specific fields that did not match between the actual and expected values. Useful for very large protocol buffers.
    This a purely cosmetic setting, and it has no effect on the behavior of the test.
  - isEqualTo
```
void isEqualTo(@Nullable
             Object expected)
```
    Compares the subject of the assertion to expected, using all of the rules specified by earlier operations. If no settings are changed, this invokes the default equals implementation of the subject Message.
  - isNotEqualTo
```
void isNotEqualTo(@Nullable
                Object expected)
```
    Compares the subject of the assertion to expected, expecting a difference, using all of the rules specified by earlier operations. If no settings are changed, this invokes the default equals implementation of the subject Message.
  - equals
```
@Deprecated
boolean equals(Object o)
```
    Deprecated. Do not call equals() on a ProtoFluentAssertion. Use isEqualTo(Object) instead.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
    
    See Also:
    Subject.equals(Object)
  - hashCode
```
@Deprecated
int hashCode()
```
    Deprecated. ProtoFluentAssertion does not support hashCode(). Use isEqualTo(Object) for testing.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    See Also:
    Subject.hashCode()
