Class AnyOf<T>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Matcher<T>, SelfDescribing
    public class AnyOf<T>
extends BaseMatcher<T>
    Calculates the logical disjunction of multiple matchers. Evaluation is shortcut, so subsequent matchers are not called if an earlier matcher returns true.

    • Method Detail

      • matches

        public boolean matches​(Object o)
        Description copied from interface: Matcher
        Evaluates the matcher for argument item.

        This method matches against Object, instead of the generic type T. This is because the caller of the Matcher does not know at runtime what the type is (because of type erasure with Java generics). It is down to the implementations to check the correct type.

        Specified by:
        matches in interface Matcher<T>
        Parameters:
        o - the object against which the matcher is evaluated.
        Returns:
        true if item matches, otherwise false.

      • describeTo

        public void describeTo​(Description description)
        Description copied from interface: SelfDescribing
        Generates a description of the object. The description may be part of a a description of a larger object of which this is just a component, so it should be worded appropriately.
        Specified by:
        describeTo in interface SelfDescribing
        Parameters:
        description - The description to be built or appended to.

      • anyOf

        public static <T> AnyOf<T> anyOf​(Iterable<Matcher<? super T>> matchers)
        Creates a matcher that matches if the examined object matches ANY of the specified matchers.
