Method Detail

matches

ArgumentMatcher.MatchResult matches(Object argument,
                                  Object argumentAtInvocationTime)

Returns true if the given object matches this object's expected argument, false otherwise. The argumentAtInvocationTime is a copy (deep clone) of the arguments at the time of the invocation. This way the original values can still be used later-on even when changes occur to the original values (pass-by-value vs pass-by-reference).

Parameters:

argument - The argument that was used by reference, not null

argumentAtInvocationTime - Copy of the argument, taken at the time that the invocation was performed, not null

Returns:

The match result, not null
