Class ExpectFailure

java.lang.Object

com.google.common.truth.ExpectFailure

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.junit.rules.TestRule

public final class ExpectFailure
extends Object
implements org.junit.rules.TestRule

A utility for testing that assertions against a custom Subject fail when they should.

Usage:

   AssertionError failure =
       expectFailure(whenTesting -> whenTesting.that(cancelButton).isVisible());
   assertThat(failure).hasMessageThat().contains("visible");

 ...

 private static AssertionError expectFailure(
     ExpectFailure.SimpleSubjectBuilderCallback<UiElementSubject, UiElement> assertionCallback) {
   return ExpectFailure.expectFailureAbout(uiElements(), assertionCallback);
 }
 

Or, if you can't use lambdas:

  @Rule public final ExpectFailure expectFailure = new ExpectFailure();

  ...

     expectFailure.whenTesting().about(uiElements()).that(cancelButton).isVisible();
     assertThat(expectFailure.getFailure()).hasMessageThat().contains("visible");

ExpectFailure

public ExpectFailure()

Method Detail

whenTesting

public StandardSubjectBuilder whenTesting()

Returns a test verb that expects the chained assertion to fail, and makes the failure available via getFailure().

An instance of ExpectFailure supports only one whenTesting call per test method. The static expectFailure(com.google.common.truth.ExpectFailure.AssertionCallback) method, by contrast, does not have this limitation.

getFailure

public AssertionError getFailure()

Returns the captured failure, if one occurred.

expectFailure

@Deprecated
public static AssertionError expectFailure(ExpectFailure.AssertionCallback assertionCallback)

Deprecated. Switch to the overload of this method that accepts a ExpectFailure.StandardSubjectBuilderCallback.

Static alternative that directly returns the triggered failure. This is intended to be used in Java 8 tests similar to expectThrows():

AssertionError failure = expectFailure(whenTesting -> whenTesting.that(4).isNotEqualTo(4));

expectFailure

public static AssertionError expectFailure(ExpectFailure.StandardSubjectBuilderCallback assertionCallback)

Static alternative that directly returns the triggered failure. This is intended to be used in Java 8 tests similar to expectThrows():

AssertionError failure = expectFailure(whenTesting -> whenTesting.that(4).isNotEqualTo(4));

expectFailureAbout

@Deprecated
public static <S extends Subject<S,D>,D> AssertionError expectFailureAbout(SubjectFactory<S,D> factory,
                                                                                       ExpectFailure.DelegatedAssertionCallback<S,D> assertionCallback)

Deprecated. Switch to the overload of this method that accepts a ExpectFailure.SimpleSubjectBuilderCallback.

Static alternative that directly returns the triggered failure. This is intended to be used in Java 8 tests similar to expectThrows():

AssertionError failure = expectFailureAbout(myTypes(), whenTesting -> whenTesting.that(myType).hasProperty());

expectFailureAbout

public static <S extends Subject<S,A>,A> AssertionError expectFailureAbout(SubjectFactory<S,A> factory,
                                                                           ExpectFailure.SimpleSubjectBuilderCallback<S,A> assertionCallback)

Static alternative that directly returns the triggered failure. This is intended to be used in Java 8 tests similar to expectThrows():

AssertionError failure = expectFailureAbout(myTypes(), whenTesting -> whenTesting.that(myType).hasProperty());
