In WebTau you can compare strings, dates, arrays, strings and numbers, dates and strings, arrays and sets and other numerous combinations using the same set of matchers. Groovy def errorMessage = generateErrorMessage() errorMessage.should == "insufficient disk space" // string and string equality comparison def numberAsText = "200" numberAsText.shouldBe > 150 // text and number relative comparison Check matchers/import-and-dependencies Import And Dependencies for prerequisites. Java String errorMessage = generateErrorMessage(); actual(errorMessage).should(equal("insufficient disk space")); // string and string equality comparison String numberAsText = "200"; actual(numberAsText).shouldBe(greaterThan(150)); // text and number relative comparison Check matchers/import-and-dependencies Import And Dependencies for prerequisites.

Every comparison failed and successful generates console output with comparison details. . [value] equals "insufficient disk space" (0ms) Values have predefined names when they come from HTTP response or Web UI, etc. But regular values default to value .Pass name as a second parameter to actual to set an explicit reporting name. Groovy double price = calculatePrice() actual(price, "price").shouldBe > 10 // explict name to use in reporting Java double price = calculatePrice(); actual(price, "price").shouldBe(greaterThan(10)); // explict name to use in reporting . price greater than 10 (8ms)

Universal compare lets you compare dates, local dates, strings, and times with timezones against each other. Groovy def dateAsText = "2018-06-10" dateAsText.shouldBe > LocalDate.of(2018, 6, 9) def timeAsText = "2018-01-02T00:00:00Z" timeAsText.shouldBe > LocalDate.of(2018, 1, 1) // date/time will be converted to local timezone def withTime = LocalDateTime.of(2022, 3, 16, 10, 4, 4) def dateOnly = LocalDate.of(2022, 3, 16) withTime.should == dateOnly // comparison ignores time portion when not provided Java String dateAsText = "2018-06-10"; actual(dateAsText).shouldBe(greaterThan(LocalDate.of(2018, 6, 9))); String timeAsText = "2018-01-02T00:00:00Z"; actual(timeAsText).shouldBe(greaterThan(LocalDate.of(2018, 1, 1))); // date/time will be converted to local timezone LocalDateTime withTime = LocalDateTime.of(2022, 3, 16, 10, 4, 4); LocalDate withDate = LocalDate.of(2022, 3, 16); actual(withTime).should(equal(withDate)); // comparison ignores time portion when not provided
