Testing Matchers and AbstractMatcherTest

[Martin Eigenbrodt]

Hi There,

I noticed AbstractMatcherTest is used to test Matcher and I'd like to use it for my custom matchers. However it seem not to be
part of the maven artefacts.
How do others test there Matchers?

Regards,

Martin

Hey Martin,

I would guess it's not part of the artifacts because it's part of the test/ sources so wouldn't be uploaded automatically.

If you're writing a matcher to use as part of an actual test, i.e when doing your business logic - I wouldn't.  Seeing a failing test and checking the diagnostics is how I'd verify the matcher works.   If I was writing a Matcher as part of someone I wanted to redistribute the Matcher would be part of src/main and I'd write tests as normal under src/test.

As Hamcrest is licensed under BSD you could effectively just copy the AbstractMatcherTest into your own project and use it directly, following the license terms of course.

Maybe she awoke to see the roommate's boyfriend swinging from the chandelier wearing a boar's head.

Something which you, I, and everyone else would call "Tuesday", of course.

Thanks for the reply Colin,

Yes. I am trying to write a "library" of matchers.

Thats what I do right now, just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.
