This is a collection of test matchers for EO in Hamcrest style, which allow you to make unit tests declarative and elegant. Here is an example of a unit test:

+package org.eolang
+alias org.eolang.hamcrest.assert-that
+tests

[] > my-first-test
  assert-that > @
    4.plus 4
    $.all-of
      $.equal-to 8
      $.less-than 100
    "sum of two numbers"

The assert-that object is a stylized sentence for making a test assertion. In this example, the subject of the assertion is the object 4.plus 4 that is the first method parameter. The second method parameter is a matcher for the first parameter, here a matcher that checks one object is equal and less than to another objects. The third parameter is an optional string description of the test case (sum of two numbers). The test passes since all conditions are TRUE.

Matchers

Hamcrest comes with a library of useful matchers. Here are some of the most important ones:

Core

+package org.eolang
+alias org.eolang.hamcrest.assert-that
+tests

[] > core-matchers-test
  assert-that > @
    5.times 4
    $.is
      $.anything
    "multiply of two numbers"

.anything - always matches, useful if you don’t care what the object under test is

.described-as - decorator to adding custom failure description

.is - decorator to improve readability

Logical

+package org.eolang
+alias org.eolang.hamcrest.assert-that
+tests

[] > logical-matchers-test
  assert-that > @
    50.minus 10
    $.all-of
      $.not 
        $.equal-to 5
      $.any-of
        $.less-than 100
        $.greater-than 1
    "substract one number from another"

.all-of - matches if all matchers match, short circuits (like Java &&)

.any-of - matches if any matchers match, short circuits (like Java ||)

.not - matches if the wrapped matcher doesn’t match and vice versa

Object

.equal-to - the subject of the assertion is equal to some object

Collections

+package org.eolang
+alias org.eolang.hamcrest.assert-that
+tests

[] > collections-test
  assert-that > @
    * 50 "t" "smth"
    $.array-each
      $.equal-to 50
      $.equal-to "t"
      $.equal-to "smth"

array-each - test an array’s elements against an array of matchers

+package org.eolang
+alias org.eolang.hamcrest.assert-that
+tests

[] > collections-test
  assert-that > @
    * 1 5 "f" 12
    $.has-item
      $.less-than 4

.has-item, .has-items - test a collection contains elements

Number

+package org.eolang
+alias org.eolang.hamcrest.assert-that
+tests

[] > numbers-matchers-test
  assert-that > @
    31.div 3
    $.any-of
      $.close-to 10.0 0.1
      $.less-than 20
      $.greater-than 355
    "number of floating point number matchers"

.close-to - test floating point values are close to a given value

.greater-than, .less-than - test ordering

Text

+package org.eolang
+alias org.eolang.hamcrest.assert-that
+tests

[] > text-matchers-test
  assert-that > @
    "Vice versa!"
    $.all-of
      $.equal-to-ignoring-case "vice versa!"
      $.starts-with "Vice"
      $.ends-with "versa!"
      $.contains-string "ver"
    "text matchers test"

.equal-to-ignoring-case - test string equality ignoring case

.equal-to-ignoring-white-space - test string equality ignoring differences in runs of whitespace

.contains-string, .ends-with, .starts-with - test string matching

Custom matchers

You can also implement your own matcher by passing parameter to the assert-that object:

+package org.eolang
+alias org.eolang.hamcrest.assert-that
+tests

[] > my-custom-matcher-test
  assert-that > @
    my-object
    my-custom-matcher obj

[obj] > my-custom-matcher
  [x] > match
    eq. > @
      x
      obj    
      
  [] > describe-mismatch
    "mismatch description message" > @

  [] > description-of
    "expected value description" > @
