Class IsNull<T>

java.lang.Object
  org.hamcrest.BaseMatcher<T>
      org.hamcrest.core.IsNull<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Matcher<T>, SelfDescribing

public class IsNull<T>
   

    extends 
    BaseMatcher<T>
   

Is the value null?

       

IsNull

public IsNull()

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.

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.

Parameters:

description - The description to be built or appended to.

nullValue

public static Matcher<Object> nullValue()

Creates a matcher that matches if examined object is null.

For example:

assertThat(cheese, is(nullValue())

notNullValue

public static Matcher<Object> notNullValue()

A shortcut to the frequently used not(nullValue()).

For example:

assertThat(cheese, is(notNullValue()))

instead of:

assertThat(cheese, is(not(nullValue())))

nullValue

public static <T> Matcher<T> nullValue(Class<T> type)

Creates a matcher that matches if examined object is null. Accepts a single dummy argument to facilitate type inference.

For example:

assertThat(cheese, is(nullValue(Cheese.class))

Parameters:

type - dummy parameter used to infer the generic type of the returned matcher

notNullValue

public static <T> Matcher<T> notNullValue(Class<T> type)

A shortcut to the frequently used not(nullValue(X.class)). Accepts a single dummy argument to facilitate type inference..

For example:

assertThat(cheese, is(notNullValue(X.class)))

instead of:

assertThat(cheese, is(not(nullValue(X.class))))

Parameters:

type - dummy parameter used to infer the generic type of the returned matcher
