Logical Matchers¶
Boolean logic using other matchers.
- class hamcrest.core.core.allof.AllOf(*matchers, **kwargs)¶
Bases:
BaseMatcher
[T
]- Parameters:
matchers (Matcher[T]) –
- describe_mismatch(item, mismatch_description)¶
Generates a description of why the matcher has not accepted the item.
The description will be part of a larger description of why a matching failed, so it should be concise.
This method assumes that
matches(item)
isFalse
, but will not check this.- Parameters:
item (T) – The item that the
Matcher
has rejected.mismatch_description (Description) – The description to be built or appended to.
- Return type:
None
- describe_to(description)¶
Generates a description of the object.
The description may be part of a description of a larger object of which this is just a component, so it should be worded appropriately.
- Parameters:
description (Description) – The description to be built or appended to.
- Return type:
None
- matches(item, mismatch_description=None)¶
Evaluates the matcher for argument item.
If a mismatch is detected and argument
mismatch_description
is provided, it will generate a description of why the matcher has not accepted the item.- Parameters:
item (T) – The object against which the matcher is evaluated.
mismatch_description (Optional[Description]) –
- Returns:
True
ifitem
matches, otherwiseFalse
.- Return type:
- hamcrest.core.core.allof.all_of(*items)¶
Matches if all of the given matchers evaluate to
True
.- Parameters:
- Return type:
Matcher[T]
The matchers are evaluated from left to right using short-circuit evaluation, so evaluation stops as soon as a matcher returns
False
.Any argument that is not a matcher is implicitly wrapped in an
equal_to
matcher to check for equality.
- class hamcrest.core.core.anyof.AnyOf(*matchers)¶
Bases:
BaseMatcher
[T
]- Parameters:
matchers (Matcher[T]) –
- describe_to(description)¶
Generates a description of the object.
The description may be part of a description of a larger object of which this is just a component, so it should be worded appropriately.
- Parameters:
description (Description) – The description to be built or appended to.
- Return type:
None
- hamcrest.core.core.anyof.any_of(*items)¶
Matches if any of the given matchers evaluate to
True
.- Parameters:
- Return type:
Matcher[T]
The matchers are evaluated from left to right using short-circuit evaluation, so evaluation stops as soon as a matcher returns
True
.Any argument that is not a matcher is implicitly wrapped in an
equal_to
matcher to check for equality.
- class hamcrest.core.core.isanything.IsAnything(description)¶
Bases:
BaseMatcher
[Any
]- describe_to(description)¶
Generates a description of the object.
The description may be part of a description of a larger object of which this is just a component, so it should be worded appropriately.
- Parameters:
description (Description) – The description to be built or appended to.
- Return type:
None
- hamcrest.core.core.isanything.anything(description=None)¶
Matches anything.
- Parameters:
description (Optional[str]) – Optional string used to describe this matcher.
- Return type:
This matcher always evaluates to
True
. Specify this in composite matchers when the value of a particular element is unimportant.
- class hamcrest.core.core.isnot.IsNot(matcher)¶
Bases:
BaseMatcher
[T
]- Parameters:
matcher (Matcher[T]) –
- describe_mismatch(item, mismatch_description)¶
Generates a description of why the matcher has not accepted the item.
The description will be part of a larger description of why a matching failed, so it should be concise.
This method assumes that
matches(item)
isFalse
, but will not check this.- Parameters:
item (T) – The item that the
Matcher
has rejected.mismatch_description (Description) – The description to be built or appended to.
- Return type:
None
- describe_to(description)¶
Generates a description of the object.
The description may be part of a description of a larger object of which this is just a component, so it should be worded appropriately.
- Parameters:
description (Description) – The description to be built or appended to.
- Return type:
None
- hamcrest.core.core.isnot.is_not(match: Type) Matcher[object] ¶
- hamcrest.core.core.isnot.is_not(match: Union[Matcher[T], T]) Matcher[T]
Inverts the given matcher to its logical negation.
- Parameters:
match – The matcher to negate.
This matcher compares the evaluated object to the negation of the given matcher. If the
match
argument is not a matcher, it is implicitly wrapped in anequal_to
matcher to check for equality, and thus matches for inequality.Examples:
assert_that(cheese, is_not(equal_to(smelly))) assert_that(cheese, is_not(smelly))
