AssertContains on strings in jUnit

Question

Is there a nicer way to write in jUnit

String x = "foo bar"; Assert.assertTrue(x.contains("foo")); 

Answer 1

If you add in Hamcrest and JUnit4, you could do:

String x = "foo bar"; Assert.assertThat(x, CoreMatchers.containsString("foo")); 

With some static imports, it looks a lot better:

assertThat(x, containsString("foo")); 

The static imports needed would be:

import static org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert.assertThat; import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.containsString; 

Answer 2

use fest assert 2.0 whenever possible EDIT: assertj may have more assertions (a fork)

assertThat(x).contains("foo");
