Method Detail

assertEquals

void assertEquals(String storedSnapshot,
                  String serializedActual)
           throws AssertionError,
                  SnapshotException

Structurally compares two serialized objects. If comparison fails, this method should throw an AssertionError with a helpful error message.

Parameters:

storedSnapshot - The persisted snapshot.

serializedActual - The serialized actual test result.

Throws:

AssertionError - If both objects are not "identical" according to this implementation.

SnapshotException - If any kind of technical error occurs during comparison.

API Note:

Implementors are advised to throw AssertionFailedError instead of plain AssertionError. This allows the user to see an IDE generated diff of the actual and expected values in most IDEs.
