assert.go

/*Package assert provides assertions for comparing expected values to actual
values. When an assertion fails a helpful error message is printed.

Assert and Check

Assert() and Check() both accept a Comparison, and fail the test when the
comparison fails. The one difference is that Assert() will end the test execution
immediately (using t.FailNow()) whereas Check() will fail the test (using t.Fail()),
return the value of the comparison, then proceed with the rest of the test case.

Example usage

The example below shows assert used with some common types.


	import (
	    "testing"

	    "gotest.tools/assert"
	    is "gotest.tools/assert/cmp"
	)

	func TestEverything(t *testing.T) {
	    // booleans
	    assert.Assert(t, ok)
	    assert.Assert(t, !missing)

	    // primitives
	    assert.Equal(t, count, 1)
	    assert.Equal(t, msg, "the message")
	    assert.Assert(t, total != 10) // NotEqual

	    // errors
	    assert.NilError(t, closer.Close())
	    assert.Error(t, err, "the exact error message")
	    assert.ErrorContains(t, err, "includes this")
	    assert.ErrorType(t, err, os.IsNotExist)

	    // complex types
	    assert.DeepEqual(t, result, myStruct{Name: "title"})
	    assert.Assert(t, is.Len(items, 3))
	    assert.Assert(t, len(sequence) != 0) // NotEmpty
	    assert.Assert(t, is.Contains(mapping, "key"))

	    // pointers and interface
	    assert.Assert(t, is.Nil(ref))
	    assert.Assert(t, ref != nil) // NotNil
	}

Comparisons

Package http://gotest.tools/assert/cmp provides
many common comparisons. Additional comparisons can be written to compare
values in other ways. See the example Assert (CustomComparison).

Automated migration from testify

gty-migrate-from-testify is a command which translates Go source code from
testify assertions to the assertions provided by this package.
