It's to mirror assertAll
for soft assertions, naming is hard 😂 open to suggestions
Definitely been struggling to come up with something good here.
Best I can think is that we need a verb suffix to all/any/none (I'm assuming we can change the design to support any/none here) such as "match" (allMatch { }
, anyMatch { }
, noneMatch { }
). But we don't use that verb anywhere else (to my knowledge), and there are really no other verbs that fit which are currently in use.
In a playground project where I've been experimenting with a new design for this library that supports things such as "any" and "none" I have also been toying with the idea of making Assert
's Companion
be an implementation of the "unit" Assert
(similar to the design of Compose UI's Modifier
). One thing this enables is that the entire library becomes instance-based rather than split between top-level functions and instance functions, at the downside of requiring that someone does the more verbose Assert.allMatch { }
for the equivalent of today's assertAll
. Although the latter could simply call into the former, but perhaps named assertAllMatch
?
Hey there,
I like to use assertk as an assertj drop in for kotlin code. Recently I stumbled across the assertThat().all and assertThat().each methods.
I did something like
This assertion fails because it does not assert that each list has size one, but it asserts that the outer list has size 1.
assertThat(listOfLists).each { it.hasSize(1) }
is the way to go here.Why did I try to use
all
in the first place? Well there is standard-lib functionall
which works on lists and checks if all elements of the list match the given predicate:assertTrue(listOfLists.all { it.size == 1 })
So I think naming of all and each assertions could be improved to save other fellow developers from the trap I fell into.
