Interface ContainsExtraTypeInfo

All Known Implementing Classes:

ArrayEquals, Equals

public interface ContainsExtraTypeInfo

Intended to use in certain ArgumentMatchers. When ArgumentMatcher fails, chance is that the actual object has the same output of toString() than the wanted object. This looks weird when failures are reported. Therefore when matcher fails but toString() yields the same outputs, we will try to use the toStringWithType() method.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.lang.String	toStringWithType() Returns more verbose description of the object which include type information
boolean	typeMatches(java.lang.Object target) Checks if target target has matching type.

Method Detail

toStringWithType

java.lang.String toStringWithType()

Returns more verbose description of the object which include type information

typeMatches

boolean typeMatches(java.lang.Object target)

Checks if target target has matching type. If the type matches, there is no point in rendering result from toStringWithType()
