parent

Expects that this Path has a parent and creates an Expect for it, so that further fluent calls are assertions about it.

val dir = tempDir.newDirectory("test_dir_1")
val dir2 = tempDir.newDirectory("test_dir_2")

expect(dir).parent.toEqual(dir2.parent).toExist()

fails {
    val dir3 = dir2.newDirectory("test_dir")
    expect(dir).parent
        .toEqual(dir3) // fails because dir3 and dir do not have same parents
        .notToExist()  // not evaluated/reported because toEqual already fails
    //                    use `.parent { ... }` if you want that all expectations are evaluated
}

Return
The newly created Expect for the extracted feature.

Since
0.9.0

Expects that this Path has a parent, that the parent holds all assertions the given assertionCreator creates for it and returns an Expect for the current subject of this expectation.

val dir = tempDir.newDirectory("test_dir_1")
val dir2 = tempDir.newDirectory("test_dir_2")

expect(dir).parent { // subject inside this block refers to path corresponding to `test_dir_1/..`
    toEqual(dir2.parent)
    toExist()
} // subject here is back to `test_dir_1`

fails {
    val dir3 = dir2.newDirectory("test_dir")
    expect(dir).parent {
        toEqual(dir3) // fails because dir3 and dir do not have same parents
        notToExist()  // still evaluated even though toEqual already fails
        //               use `.parent.` if you want a fail fast behaviour
    }
}

Return
an Expect for the subject of this expectation.
