is there a way to model JUnit's Assume in Screenplay pattern?

[SiKing]

Something like actor.should(seeThat(actual, expected)) is essentially a JUnit Assert.

Is there a way to model JUnit's Assume? That is: if the actual does not match the expected, the test is marked as Ignored, not Failed.

I thought net.serenitybdd.screenplay.GivenWhenThen.seeIf() might be it, but I am sure if this is the correct way forward. I am not able to find any examples of using seeIf().

No, but it would be a good idea.

There is something you can use already, http://thucydides.info/docs/articles/semantic-exceptions.html

actor.should(eventually(seeThat(actual, expected)).complainingWith(FailingAssumption.class))

while class FailingAssumption extends AssertionError implements CausesCompromisedTestFailure

also.. shouldn't it be easy to write an interaction like actor.attemptsTo(TestAssumption(actual, expected)) and then implement Assume in the performAs method?

Other option that I use, is the Facts, u can make a Fact about something and in case it doesn’t satisfy the rule, throw a compromised exception or use the Junit assume inside the setUp method of the fact.

while class FailingAssumption extends TestCompromisedException

This seemed like the easiest solution, but I get:

The method orComplainWith(Class<? extends Error>) in the type Consequence<WebElementState> is not applicable for the arguments (Class<FailingAssumption>)

I also tried extends org.junit.AssumptionViolatedException but that gave me the same error.

@ricardorlg-aval I have never used Fact and I am having a hard time finding any examples of this. Could you provide some more details?

Correction on my example:

class FailingAssumption extends AssertionError implements CausesCompromisedTestFailure

[SiKing]

That builds, but the test gets marked as Failed. I need it marked as Skipped.

I ended up doing something like: Assume.assumeThat(valueOf(target).answeredBy(actor), containsOnlyText("text"));, which is one refactor away from your TestAssumption(actual, expected) suggestion.
