Enum ReflectionComparatorMode

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<ReflectionComparatorMode>

org.unitils.reflectionassert.ReflectionComparatorMode

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<ReflectionComparatorMode>

public enum ReflectionComparatorMode
extends Enum<ReflectionComparatorMode>

Modes defining how to compare two values. No mode means strict comparison. Each of the modes specify some form of leniency when comparing the values:

• ignore defaults: compare only fields (and inner values) that have a non default value (eg null) as exepected value
• lenient dates: do not compare actual date values, just that they both have a value or not
• lenient order: order is not important when comparing collections or arrays

The modes can be combined if needed.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
IGNORE_DEFAULTS Ignore fields that do not have a default value for the left-hand (expected) side
LENIENT_DATES Do not compare the actual time/date value, just that both left-hand (expected) and right-hand side are null or not null.
LENIENT_ORDER Do not compare the order of collections and arrays.

Enum Constant Detail

IGNORE_DEFAULTS

public static final ReflectionComparatorMode IGNORE_DEFAULTS

Ignore fields that do not have a default value for the left-hand (expected) side

LENIENT_DATES

public static final ReflectionComparatorMode LENIENT_DATES

Do not compare the actual time/date value, just that both left-hand (expected) and right-hand side are null or not null.

LENIENT_ORDER

public static final ReflectionComparatorMode LENIENT_ORDER

Do not compare the order of collections and arrays. Only check that all values of the left-hand (expected) side collection or array are also contained in the right-hand (actual) side and vice versa.

Method Detail

values

public static ReflectionComparatorMode[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ReflectionComparatorMode c : ReflectionComparatorMode.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ReflectionComparatorMode valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
