Assertions are used to perform various kinds of validations in the tests and help us to decide whether the test has passed or failed.
In the below example, we have 3 assertions, but if the first assertion fails, then the test fails without checking for the rest of the two assertions.
@Test
public void verifyHardAssertion() {
// Given
given()
// When
.when()
.get("https://reqres.in/api/users/2")
// Then
.then()
// To verify the response body
.body("data.email", equalTo("janet.weaver@reqres12.in"))
.body("data.first_name", equalTo("Janet1"))
.body("data.last_name", equalTo("Weaver"));
}
The output of the above program is
In the above example, email as well as first_name has incorrect data. But the assertion has checked email and as it has the incorrect data, it has failed the test without even checking for the rest two assertions.
In the below example, the assertion will check all 3 and will print all the error messages. In .body() you need to specify all assertions separated by comma. The below code will validate all 3 assertions and then fail the test.
@Test
public void verifySoftAssertion() {
// Given
given()
// When
.when()
.get("https://reqres.in/api/users/2")
// Then
.then()
// To verify the response body
.body("data.email", equalTo("janet.weaver@reqres12.in"),
"data.first_name", equalTo("Janet1"),
"data.last_name", equalTo("Weaver"));
}
}
The output of the above program is
