Comment on JUnit/TestNG tip: Diffing Lists by Steve Freeman

There is some improved support for list comparisons in Hamcrest now. For example, this code:

List actual = Arrays.asList(“name=Joe”,”starsign=Virgo”,”sex=Male”);
assertThat(actual, Matchers.contains(“name=Joe”, “starsign=Libra”, “sex=Female”));

will generate:

Expected: iterable over ["name=Joe", "starsign=Libra", "sex=Female"]
but: item 1: was “starsign=Virgo”

An assumption here is that your .equals() is checking the same state that your.toString() is displaying. Most of the time it’s true, but when it’s not you’re getting a bad test result.

Joe,

great news, thanks for assembling the release.
Could you please release SiteMesh to the maven repositories as well. The Struts2 SiteMesh plugin requires this release to be AppEngine compliant.

cheers,
Rainer

@Neil and DI

i think that is not a good “hater” description, it sounds like it was written by a “lover” and not by somebody who was really considering what problems di might have, especially in languages other than, say, Java/C#.

APL

Lovers: it’s so concise that you think about what to code for an hour and then type it in 10 seconds

Haters: it’s so cryptic that you think about what to code for an hour and then type it in 10 seconds

Might not be a Marmite though as most people of Joe’s age have never heard if it.
