Object Validations

You can perform assertions and verifications on objects using the NativeValidationsBuilder.

isEqualTo()​

Checks that the actual object is equal to the expected value.

ObjectEqualValidation.java
Validations.assertThat().object(actualValue).isEqualTo(expectedValue).perform();
Validations.verifyThat().object(actualValue).isEqualTo(expectedValue).perform();

doesNotEqual()​

Checks that the actual object is not equal to the expected value.

ObjectNotEqualValidation.java
Validations.assertThat().object(actualValue).doesNotEqual(expectedValue).perform();
Validations.verifyThat().object(actualValue).doesNotEqual(expectedValue).perform();

contains()​

Checks that the actual object contains the expected value.

ObjectContainsValidation.java
Validations.assertThat().object(actualText).contains("expected substring").perform();
Validations.verifyThat().object(actualText).contains("expected substring").perform();

doesNotContain()​

Checks that the actual object does not contain the expected value.

ObjectNotContainsValidation.java
Validations.assertThat().object(actualText).doesNotContain("unwanted text").perform();

matchesRegex()​

Checks that the actual object matches the expected regular expression.

ObjectRegexValidation.java
Validations.assertThat().object(actualValue).matchesRegex("\\d{3}-\\d{4}").perform();

doesNotMatchRegex()​

Checks that the actual object does not match the expected regular expression.

ObjectNotRegexValidation.java
Validations.assertThat().object(actualValue).doesNotMatchRegex("\\d+").perform();

equalsIgnoringCaseSensitivity()​

Checks that the actual object equals the expected value, ignoring case sensitivity.

ObjectCaseInsensitiveValidation.java
Validations.assertThat().object("Hello World").equalsIgnoringCaseSensitivity("hello world").perform();

doesNotEqualIgnoringCaseSensitivity()​

Checks that the actual object does not equal the expected value, ignoring case sensitivity.

ObjectCaseInsensitiveNotEqualValidation.java
Validations.assertThat().object("Hello").doesNotEqualIgnoringCaseSensitivity("world").perform();

isNull()​

Checks that the actual object is null.

ObjectNullValidation.java
Validations.assertThat().object(actualValue).isNull().perform();

isNotNull()​

Checks that the actual object is not null.

ObjectNotNullValidation.java
Validations.assertThat().object(actualValue).isNotNull().perform();

isTrue()​

Checks that the actual object evaluates to true.

ObjectTrueValidation.java
Validations.assertThat().object(actualValue).isTrue().perform();

isFalse()​

Checks that the actual object evaluates to false.

ObjectFalseValidation.java
Validations.assertThat().object(actualValue).isFalse().perform();
tip

You can add a custom report message to any object validation:

Validations.assertThat().object(username)
    .isEqualTo("admin")
    .withCustomReportMessage("Verify username is 'admin'")
    .perform();
