// Package oglematchers provides a set of matchers useful in a testing or
// mocking framework. These matchers are inspired by and mostly compatible with
// Google Test for C++ and Google JS Test.
//
// This package is used by github.com/smartystreets/assertions/internal/ogletest and
// github.com/smartystreets/assertions/internal/oglemock, which may be more directly useful if you're not
// writing your own testing package or defining your own matchers.
package oglematchers
// A Matcher is some predicate implicitly defining a set of values that it
// matches. For example, GreaterThan(17) matches all numeric values greater
// than 17, and HasSubstr("taco") matches all strings with the substring
// "taco".
//
// Matchers are typically exposed to tests via constructor functions like
// HasSubstr. In order to implement such a function you can either define your
// own matcher type or use NewMatcher.
type Matcher interface {
// Check whether the supplied value belongs to the the set defined by the
// matcher. Return a non-nil error if and only if it does not.
//
// The error describes why the value doesn't match. The error text is a
// relative clause that is suitable for being placed after the value. For
// example, a predicate that matches strings with a particular substring may,
// when presented with a numerical value, return the following error text:
//
// "which is not a string"
//
// Then the failure message may look like:
//
// Expected: has substring "taco"
// Actual: 17, which is not a string
//
// If the error is self-apparent based on the description of the matcher, the
// error text may be empty (but the error still non-nil). For example:
//
// Expected: 17
// Actual: 19
//
// If you are implementing a new matcher, see also the documentation on
// FatalError.
Matches(candidate interface{}) error
// Description returns a string describing the property that values matching
// this matcher have, as a verb phrase where the subject is the value. For
// example, "is greather than 17" or "has substring "taco"".
Description() string
}
// FatalError is an implementation of the error interface that may be returned
// from matchers, indicating the error should be propagated. Returning a
// *FatalError indicates that the matcher doesn't process values of the
// supplied type, or otherwise doesn't know how to handle the value.
//
// For example, if GreaterThan(17) returned false for the value "taco" without
// a fatal error, then Not(GreaterThan(17)) would return true. This is
// technically correct, but is surprising and may mask failures where the wrong
// sort of matcher is accidentally used. Instead, GreaterThan(17) can return a
// fatal error, which will be propagated by Not().
type FatalError struct {
errorText string
}
// NewFatalError creates a FatalError struct with the supplied error text.
func NewFatalError(s string) *FatalError {
return &FatalError{s}

func (e *FatalError) Error() string {
