Method Details

assertThat

<T extends tools.jackson.databind.JsonNode>
JsonNodeValidator<T> assertThat(T value,
 String name)

Validates the state of a JsonNode.

The returned validator captures exceptions on validation failure rather than throwing them immediately. The exceptions are converted into an AssertionError and can be retrieved or thrown once the validation completes. Exceptions unrelated to validation failures are thrown immediately.

This method is intended to be used with the assert keyword, like so: assert that(value, name).

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the JsonNode

Parameters:

value - the value

name - the name of the value

Returns:

a validator for the value

Throws:

NullPointerException - if name is null

IllegalArgumentException - if name contains whitespace, or is empty
