断言即使不应该失败

Question

I have the following two asserts which are checking the checked attribute of a check box:

Assert.assertEquals(true, notificationCheck.getAttribute("checked").equals(true));
Assert.assertEquals(true, accessCheck.getAttribute("checked").equals(true));

I have setup a sort of debugging where it spits out to console the value of the checked attribute and they both say true.

The error that I am getting is below:

What am I doing wrong?

I removed the .equals(true) from both of the Asserts. Now I am getting the same error only now it says expected [true] but found [true]

Answer 1

Most likely you're mixing up data types... what type does notificationCheck.getAttribute("checked") return?? I suppose it does not return a Boolean but a String and that's why your test fails. In that case you could try this:

Assert.assertEquals(true, notificationCheck.getAttribute("checked").equals("true"));

Even better:

Assert.assertEquals("true", notificationCheck.getAttribute("checked"));

Answer 2

If its saying expected true and found true that means: The type might be different. eg : what its getting is boolean-true and checking if its equal with String-"true" or vice versa.
