matcher library

Support for specifying test expectations, such as for unit tests.

Classes

CustomMatcher
A useful utility class for implementing other matchers through inheritance. Derived classes should call the base constructor with a feature name and description, and an instance matcher, and should implement the featureValueOf abstract method.
Description
Matchers build up their error messages by appending to Description objects.
isInstanceOf<T>
DEPRECATED Use isA instead.
Matcher
The base class for all matchers.
StringDescription
The default implementation of Description. This should rarely need substitution, although conceivably it is a place where other languages could be supported.
TypeMatcher<T>
A Matcher subclass that supports validating the Type of the target object.

Functions

addStateInfo(Map matchState, Map values) → void
Useful utility for nesting match states.
allOf(Object? arg0, [Object? arg1, Object? arg2, Object? arg3, Object? arg4, Object? arg5, Object? arg6]) Matcher
This returns a matcher that matches if all of the matchers passed as arguments (up to 7) match.
anyElement(Object? valueOrMatcher) Matcher
Returns a matcher which matches Iterables in which at least one element matches the given valueOrMatcher.
anyOf(Object? arg0, [Object? arg1, Object? arg2, Object? arg3, Object? arg4, Object? arg5, Object? arg6]) Matcher
Matches if any of the given matchers evaluate to true.
closeTo(num value, num delta) Matcher
Returns a matcher which matches if the match argument is within delta of some value.
collapseWhitespace(String string) String
Utility function to collapse whitespace runs to single spaces and strip leading/trailing whitespace.
contains(Object? expected) Matcher
Returns a matcher that matches if the match argument contains the expected value.
containsAll(Iterable expected) Matcher
Matches Iterables which contain an element matching every value in expected in any order, and may contain additional values.
containsAllInOrder(Iterable expected) Matcher
Matches Iterables which contain an element matching every value in expected in the same order, but may contain additional values interleaved throughout.
containsOnce(Object? expected) Matcher
Matches Iterables where exactly one element matches the expected value, and all other elements don't match.
containsPair(Object? key, Object? valueOrMatcher) Matcher
Returns a matcher which matches maps containing the key-value pair with key => valueOrMatcher.
containsValue(Object? value) Matcher
Returns a matcher which matches maps containing the given value.
endsWith(String suffixString) Matcher
Returns a matcher that matches if the match argument is a string and ends with suffixString.
equals(Object? expected, [int limit = 100]) Matcher
Returns a matcher that matches if the value is structurally equal to expected.
equalsIgnoringCase(String value) Matcher
Returns a matcher which matches if the match argument is a string and is equal to value when compared case-insensitively.
equalsIgnoringWhitespace(String value) Matcher
Returns a matcher which matches if the match argument is a string and is equal to value, ignoring whitespace.
escape(String str) String
Returns str with all whitespace characters represented as their escape sequences.
everyElement(Object? valueOrMatcher) Matcher
Returns a matcher which matches Iterables in which all elements match the given valueOrMatcher.
greaterThan(Object value) Matcher
Returns a matcher which matches if the match argument is greater than the given value.
greaterThanOrEqualTo(Object value) Matcher
Returns a matcher which matches if the match argument is greater than or equal to the given value.
hasLength(Object? matcher) Matcher
Returns a matcher that matches if an object has a length property that matches matcher.
inClosedOpenRange(num low, num high) Matcher
Returns a matcher which matches if the match argument is greater than or equal to a low and less than high.
inExclusiveRange(num low, num high) Matcher
Returns a matcher which matches if the match argument is greater than low and less than high.
inInclusiveRange(num low, num high) Matcher
Returns a matcher which matches if the match argument is greater than or equal to low and less than or equal to high.
inOpenClosedRange(num low, num high) Matcher
Returns a matcher which matches if the match argument is greater than low and less than or equal to high.
isA<T>() TypeMatcher<T>
Returns a matcher that matches objects with type T.
isIn(Object? expected) Matcher
Returns a matcher that matches if the match argument is in the expected value. This is the converse of contains.

wrapMatcher(Object? valueOrMatcher) Matcher
Takes an argument and returns an equivalent Matcher.
