JUnit Assert with BigDecimal

Question

I want to use assert between 2 two decimal, I use this:

BigDecimal bd1 = new BigDecimal (1000);
BigDecimal bd2 = new BigDecimal (1000);
org.junit.Assert.assertSame (bd1,bd2);

but the JUnit log shows:

expected <1000> was not: <1000>

Answer 1

The official junit solution to assert that two BigDecimal are matematically equal is to use hamcrest.

With java-hamcrest 2.0.0.0 we can use this syntax:

    // import static org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert.assertThat;
    // import org.hamcrest.Matchers;

    BigDecimal a = new BigDecimal("100")
    BigDecimal b = new BigDecimal("100.00")
    assertThat(a,  Matchers.comparesEqualTo(b));
