Class EqualConstraint

EqualConstraint is able to compare an actual value with the expected value provided in its constructor. Two objects are considered equal if both are null, or if both have the same value. NUnit has special semantics for some object types.

Overrides

Constraint.Description

FailurePoints

Gets the failure points.

Declaration

public IList<NUnitEqualityComparer.FailurePoint> FailurePoints { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IList<NUnitEqualityComparer.FailurePoint>	The failure points.

HasFailurePoints

Type	Description
EqualConstraint	Self

IgnoreCase

Flag the constraint to ignore case and return self.

Declaration

public EqualConstraint IgnoreCase { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EqualConstraint

IgnoreWhiteSpace

Flag the constraint to ignore white space and return self.

Declaration

public EqualConstraint IgnoreWhiteSpace { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EqualConstraint

IgnoringWhiteSpace

Gets a value indicating whether to compare ignoring white space.

Declaration

public bool IgnoringWhiteSpace { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool	true if comparing ignoreing white space; otherwise, false.

Milliseconds

Causes the tolerance to be interpreted as a TimeSpan in milliseconds.

Declaration

public EqualConstraint Milliseconds { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EqualConstraint	Self

Minutes

Causes the tolerance to be interpreted as a TimeSpan in minutes.

Declaration

public EqualConstraint Minutes { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EqualConstraint	Self

NoClip

Flag the constraint to suppress string clipping and return self.

Declaration

public EqualConstraint NoClip { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EqualConstraint

Percent

Switches the .Within() modifier to interpret its tolerance as a percentage that the actual values is allowed to deviate from the expected value.

Declaration

public EqualConstraint Percent { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EqualConstraint	Self

Seconds

Causes the tolerance to be interpreted as a TimeSpan in seconds.

Declaration

public EqualConstraint Seconds { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EqualConstraint	Self

Ticks

Causes the tolerance to be interpreted as a TimeSpan in clock ticks.

Declaration

public EqualConstraint Ticks { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EqualConstraint	Self

Tolerance

Gets the tolerance for this comparison.

Declaration

public Tolerance Tolerance { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Tolerance	The tolerance.

Ulps

Switches the .Within() modifier to interpret its tolerance as a distance in representable values (see remarks).

Declaration

public EqualConstraint Ulps { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EqualConstraint	Self.

Remarks

Ulp stands for "unit in the last place" and describes the minimum amount a given value can change. For any integers, an ulp is 1 whole digit. For floating point values, the accuracy of which is better for smaller numbers and worse for larger numbers, an ulp depends on the size of the number. Using ulps for comparison of floating point results instead of fixed tolerances is safer because it will automatically compensate for the added inaccuracy of larger numbers.

WithSameOffset

Flags the constraint to include Offset property in comparison of two DateTimeOffset values.

Declaration

public EqualConstraint WithSameOffset { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
EqualConstraint

Remarks

Using this modifier does not allow to use the Within(object) constraint modifier.

Methods

ApplyTo<TActual>(TActual)

Test whether the constraint is satisfied by a given value

Declaration

public override ConstraintResult ApplyTo<TActual>(TActual actual)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TActual	actual	The value to be tested

Returns

Type	Description
ConstraintResult	True for success, false for failure

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TActual

Overrides

Constraint.ApplyTo<TActual>(TActual)

Using(IComparer)

Flag the constraint to use the supplied IComparer object.

Declaration

public EqualConstraint Using(IComparer comparer)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IComparer	comparer	The IComparer object to use.

Returns

Type	Description
EqualConstraint	Self.

Using(IEqualityComparer)

Flag the constraint to use the supplied IEqualityComparer object.

Declaration

public EqualConstraint Using(IEqualityComparer comparer)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IEqualityComparer	comparer	The IComparer object to use.

Returns

Type	Description
EqualConstraint	Self.

UsingPropertiesComparer()

Enables comparing of instance properties.

Declaration

public EqualConstraint UsingPropertiesComparer()

Type	Description
EqualConstraint

Remarks

This allows comparing classes that don't implement IEquatable<T> without having to compare each property separately in own code.
