What’s this ?

fest-assert is a great Java testing library.

fest-assert-goodies adds extra assertions to it.

Right now there’s:

• DeepEqual: Deep compare two objects, compared classes don’t need to override equals.
• XmlEqual: Compare two XML strings, formatting is ignored.

Maven setup

Add Maven repository to your pom.xml

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>fest-assert-goodies-repo</id>
    <url>https://denlab-maven-repository.googlecode.com/svn/repository</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>

Add dependency to your pom.xml

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org</groupId>
    <artifactId>fest-assert-goodies</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Using

DeepEqual

@Test
public void testIsDeepEqual() throws Exception {
	OuterClass actual = new OuterClass(new InnerClass("inner_"), "outer");
	OuterClass expected = new OuterClass(new InnerClass("inner"), "outer");

	assertThat(new DeepEqual(actual)).isDeepEqual(expected);
}

• Compared classes don’t need to override equals.
• Diff view in Eclipse:

XmlEqual

@Test
public void testXmlEqual() {
	assertThat(new XmlEqual("<a><b x='1'></b></a>")).isXmlEqual(
			"    <a><b x='2'></b></a>");
}

• XML formating is ignored.
