Class AssertionError

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Throwable

java.lang.Error

java.lang.AssertionError

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class AssertionError
extends Error

Thrown to indicate that an assertion has failed.

The seven one-argument public constructors provided by this class ensure that the assertion error returned by the invocation:

    new AssertionError(expression)

has as its detail message the string conversion of expression (as defined in section 5.1.11 of The Java Language Specification), regardless of the type of expression.

Since:

1.4

Constructor Details

AssertionError

public AssertionError()

Constructs an AssertionError with no detail message.

AssertionError

public AssertionError(Object detailMessage)

Constructs an AssertionError with its detail message derived from the specified object, which is converted to a string as defined in section 5.1.11 of The Java Language Specification.

If the specified object is an instance of Throwable, it becomes the cause of the newly constructed assertion error.

Parameters:

detailMessage - value to be used in constructing detail message

See Also:

• Throwable.getCause()

AssertionError

public AssertionError(boolean detailMessage)

Constructs an AssertionError with its detail message derived from the specified boolean, which is converted to a string as defined in section 5.1.11 of The Java Language Specification.

Parameters:

detailMessage - value to be used in constructing detail message

AssertionError

public AssertionError(char detailMessage)

Constructs an AssertionError with its detail message derived from the specified char, which is converted to a string as defined in section 5.1.11 of The Java Language Specification.

Parameters:

detailMessage - value to be used in constructing detail message

AssertionError

public AssertionError(int detailMessage)

Constructs an AssertionError with its detail message derived from the specified int, which is converted to a string as defined in section 5.1.11 of The Java Language Specification.

Parameters:

detailMessage - value to be used in constructing detail message

AssertionError

public AssertionError(long detailMessage)

Constructs an AssertionError with its detail message derived from the specified long, which is converted to a string as defined in section 5.1.11 of The Java Language Specification.

Parameters:

detailMessage - value to be used in constructing detail message

AssertionError

public AssertionError(float detailMessage)

Constructs an AssertionError with its detail message derived from the specified float, which is converted to a string as defined in section 5.1.11 of The Java Language Specification.

Parameters:

detailMessage - value to be used in constructing detail message

AssertionError

public AssertionError(double detailMessage)

Constructs an AssertionError with its detail message derived from the specified double, which is converted to a string as defined in section 5.1.11 of The Java Language Specification.

Parameters:

detailMessage - value to be used in constructing detail message

AssertionError

public AssertionError(String message,
 Throwable cause)

Constructs a new AssertionError with the specified detail message and cause.

Note that the detail message associated with cause is not automatically incorporated in this error's detail message.

Parameters:

message - the detail message, may be null

cause - the cause, may be null
