Question

From a Table, I get list of String’s and would like to check that when val != "A", a string "x" exists in the list of table:

for (int i = 0; i < NbRow; j++)
{          
  if (val[i] == "A")
  {
     assertFalse("");          
  }
  else
  {        
    list.add(myTable.getValue(j, 0));      
    //need to check here the string exists in the list using assertTrue 
  }
}  

How do I check that string X exists using assertion?

Answer 1

As an alternative:

import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.hasItem;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertThat;

assertThat(list, hasItem("string"));

[Edit]
And if you like so:

if (val[i] == "A")
{
   Assert.fail("");          
}

can be written as:

import static org.hamcrest.core.Is.is;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.not;

assertThat(val[i], is(not(equalTo("A"))));
