Assert equals between 2 Lists in Junit

by

For junit4! This question deserves a new answer written for junit5.

I realise this answer is written a couple years after the question, probably this feature wasn’t around then. But now, it’s easy to just do this:

@Test
public void test_array_pass()
{
  List<String> actual = Arrays.asList("fee", "fi", "foe");
  List<String> expected = Arrays.asList("fee", "fi", "foe");

  assertThat(actual, is(expected));
  assertThat(actual, is(not(expected)));
}

If you have a recent version of Junit installed with hamcrest, just add these imports:

import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.*;

http://junit.org/junit4/javadoc/latest/org/junit/Assert.html#assertThat(T, org.hamcrest.Matcher)

http://junit.org/junit4/javadoc/latest/org/hamcrest/CoreMatchers.html

http://junit.org/junit4/javadoc/latest/org/hamcrest/core/Is.html
