      • matchesSafely

        public boolean matchesSafely​(java.lang.String item)
        Description copied from class: TypeSafeMatcher
        Subclasses should implement this. The item will already have been checked for the specific type and will never be null.
        Specified by:
        matchesSafely in class TypeSafeMatcher<java.lang.String>
      • describeMismatchSafely

        public void describeMismatchSafely​(java.lang.String item,
                                           Description mismatchDescription)
        Description copied from class: TypeSafeMatcher
        Subclasses should override this. The item will already have been checked for the specific type and will never be null.
        Overrides:
        describeMismatchSafely in class TypeSafeMatcher<java.lang.String>
      • describeTo

        public void describeTo​(Description description)
        Description copied from interface: SelfDescribing
        Generates a description of the object. The description may be part of a a description of a larger object of which this is just a component, so it should be worded appropriately.
        Parameters:
        description - The description to be built or appended to.
      • stripSpace

        public java.lang.String stripSpace​(java.lang.String toBeStripped)
      • equalToIgnoringWhiteSpace

        public static Matcher<java.lang.String> equalToIgnoringWhiteSpace​(java.lang.String expectedString)
        Creates a matcher of String that matches when the examined string is equal to the specified expectedString, when whitespace differences are (mostly) ignored. To be exact, the following whitespace rules are applied:
        • all leading and trailing whitespace of both the expectedString and the examined string are ignored
        • any remaining whitespace, appearing within either string, is collapsed to a single space before comparison

        For example:

        assertThat("   my\tfoo  bar ", equalToIgnoringWhiteSpace(" my  foo bar"))
        Parameters:
        expectedString - the expected value of matched strings
