ExplanatoryAssertion

interface ExplanatoryAssertion : Assertion

Represents an Assertion which can be used to explain/show an instance which is eventually formatted by an ObjectFormatter in reporting -- it needs to be a child of an AssertionGroup with an ExplanatoryAssertionGroupType.

As it is a child of an AssertionGroup with an ExplanatoryAssertionGroupType, it is not of importance whether the assertions holds or not; thus it overrides holds which always returns true.

This assertion will be turned into a Reportable with 1.0.0 and eventually be removed with 1.0.0 See https://github.com/robstoll/atrium-roadmap/issues/1 for more information.

Properties

explanation

abstract val explanation: Any?

Functions

holds

open fun holds(): Boolean

Always true since it should not matter whether an ExplanatoryAssertion holds or not.

Inheritors

BasicExplanatoryAssertion

class BasicExplanatoryAssertion : ExplanatoryAssertion

A default implementation for ExplanatoryAssertion -- an assertion which only wants to give an explanation.
