Type Parameters

• T

Parameters

• notExpected
  Type: T

  The first generic type data to compare. This is the generic type data the unit test expects not to match actual.

• actual
  Type: T

  The second generic type data to compare. This is the generic type data the unit test produced.

• message
  Type: String

  A message to display if the assertion fails. This message can be seen in the unit test results.

• parameters
  Type: array<Object[]

  An array of parameters to use when formatting message.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
AssertFailedException	notExpected is equal to actual.

Remarks

Different numeric types are treated as equal if the logical values are equal. For example, 42L is equal to 42.
