fun <T : CharSequence> Assert<T>.containsRegex(pattern: String, vararg otherPatterns: String): AssertionPlant<T>
Makes the assertion that the Assert.subject contains a sequence which matches the given regular expression pattern as well as the otherPatterns (if given), using a non disjoint search.
It is a shortcut for contains.atLeast(1).regex(pattern, *otherPatterns)
.
By non disjoint is meant that 'aa'
in 'aaaa'
is found three times and not only two times.
Also notice, that it does not search for unique matches. Meaning, if the input of the search is 'ab'
and pattern
is defined as 'a(b)?'
and one of the otherPatterns is defined as 'a(b)?'
as well, then both match, even though
they match the same sequence in the input of the search. Use an option such as atLeast, atMost and exactly to
control the number of occurrences you expect.
Meaning you might want to use:
contains.exactly(2).regex('a(b)?')
instead of:
contains.atLeast(1).regex('a(b)?', 'a(b)?')
pattern
- The pattern which is expected to have a match against the input of the search.
otherPatterns
- Additional patterns which are expected to have a match against the input of the search.
AssertionError
- Might throw an AssertionError if the assertion made is not correct.
Return
An Expect for the current subject of the assertion.
