Implement a matcher for parallel runs in iterables #383

Open Caster opened 2 years ago

Caster commented 2 years ago

Introduce a new matcher containsParallelRunsOf and express the existing containsInRelativeOrder matcher using the new matcher with a single run as argument.

Use case

In a project I am working on, we have a piece of code that logs a couple of messages and is being called multiple times in parallel. In the unit test of that code, we want to verify that the logs are correct. This is not straightforward, because the logs can be mixed up because of the parallel calls. Still, we want to check that (1) all logs are there and (2) their relative order is correct.

This is essentially a slightly more general version of the existing containsInRelativeOrder matcher, which is why I was able to express that matcher using the new one in this MR.
