Class Truth

java.lang.Object

com.google.common.truth.Truth

public final class Truth
extends Object

The primary entry point for Truth, a library for fluent test assertions.

Compare these example JUnit assertions...

 assertEquals(b, a);
 assertTrue(c);
 assertTrue(d.contains(a));
 assertTrue(d.contains(a) && d.contains(b));
 assertTrue(d.contains(a) || d.contains(b) || d.contains(c));
 

...to their Truth equivalents...

 assertThat(a).isEqualTo(b);
 assertThat(c).isTrue();
 assertThat(d).contains(a);
 assertThat(d).containsAtLeast(a, b);
 assertThat(d).containsAnyOf(a, b, c);
 

Advantages of Truth:

• aligns all the "actual" values on the left
• produces more detailed failure messages
• provides richer operations (like IterableSubject.containsExactly(java.lang.Object...))

For more information about the methods in this class, see this FAQ entry.

For people extending Truth

The most common way to extend Truth is to write a custom Subject. (The other, much less common way is to write a custom FailureStrategy.) For more information, visit those types' docs.

Method Detail

assert_

public static StandardSubjectBuilder assert_()

Begins a call chain with the fluent Truth API. If the check made by the chain fails, it will throw AssertionError.

assertWithMessage

public static StandardSubjectBuilder assertWithMessage(@Nullable String message)

Begins an assertion that, if it fails, will prepend the given message to the failure message.

This method is a shortcut for assert_().withMessage(...).

To set a message when using a custom subject, use assertWithMessage(...).about(...), as discussed in this FAQ entry.

assertWithMessage

public static StandardSubjectBuilder assertWithMessage(String format,
                                                       @Nullable Object... args)

Begins an assertion that, if it fails, will prepend the given message to the failure message.

Note: the arguments will be substituted into the format template using Strings.lenientFormat. Note this only supports the %s specifier.

This method is a shortcut for assert_().withMessage(...).

To set a message when using a custom subject, use assertWithMessage(...).about(...), as discussed in this FAQ entry.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the number of placeholders in the format string does not equal the number of given arguments

assertAbout

public static <S extends Subject,T> SimpleSubjectBuilder<S,T> assertAbout(Subject.Factory<S,T> factory)

Given a factory for some Subject class, returns a builder whose that(actual) method creates instances of that class.

assertAbout

public static <CustomSubjectBuilderT extends CustomSubjectBuilder> CustomSubjectBuilderT assertAbout(CustomSubjectBuilder.Factory<CustomSubjectBuilderT> factory)

A generic, advanced method of extension of Truth to new types, which is documented on CustomSubjectBuilder. Extension creators should prefer Subject.Factory if possible.

assertThat

public static <ComparableT extends Comparable<?>> ComparableSubject<ComparableT> assertThat(@Nullable ComparableT actual)

Begins an assertion about a Comparable.

assertThat

public static BigDecimalSubject assertThat(@Nullable BigDecimal actual)

Begins an assertion about a BigDecimal.

assertThat

public static Subject assertThat(@Nullable Object actual)

Begins an assertion about an Object.

assertThat

@GwtIncompatible("ClassSubject.java")
public static ClassSubject assertThat(@Nullable Class<?> actual)

Begins an assertion about a Class.

assertThat

public static ThrowableSubject assertThat(@Nullable Throwable actual)

Begins an assertion about a Throwable.

Truth does not provide its own support for calling a method and automatically catching an expected exception, only for asserting on the exception after it has been caught. To catch the exception, we suggest assertThrows (JUnit), assertFailsWith (kotlin.test), or similar functionality from your testing library of choice.

 InvocationTargetException expected =
     assertThrows(InvocationTargetException.class, () -> method.invoke(null));
 assertThat(expected).hasCauseThat().isInstanceOf(IOException.class);
