Seeing a message like "42 is not equal to 48 (and should have been)" 
would help?

RE: [JBoss-dev] Truth of statements in assertTrue clauses

2002-07-29 Thread Jason Dillon

Don't the other Assert.* methods like Assert.assertEquals(a,b) format
the message at all?  I would expect this to show a message like a was
not equal to b (and should have been).

Good, because its these statements that I'm looking at and thinking
the tests are not written correctly.

I've been using the explanation of failure style, I hadn't really
considered the other.  I would like to switch.  I've found writing the
explanation of failure messages exceedingly confusing.

[JBoss-dev] Truth of statements in assertTrue clauses

2002-07-29 Thread Scott M Stark

In the assertTrue(String message, boolean condition) form of the
junit assertion some people are using a message that reflects the
expected truth of the condition while others are using a message
that reflects why the AssertionFailedError is thrown. We need to
be consistent on this usage. I happen to prefer that when I look at
the coded statement:

assertTrue("true is true", true);

the message is consistent with the condition. What is the general
expectation?
