A set of methods useful for stating assumptions about the conditions in which a test is meaningful. A failed assumption does not mean the code is broken, but that the test provides no useful information. Assume basically means "don't run this test if these conditions don't apply". The default JUnit runner skips tests with failing assumptions. Custom runners may behave differently.

A good example of using assumptions is in Theories where they are needed to exclude certain datapoints that aren't suitable or allowed for a certain test case.

Failed assumptions are usually not logged, because there may be many tests that don't apply to certain configurations.

These methods can be used directly: Assume.assumeTrue(...), however, they read better if they are referenced through static import:

import static org.junit.Assume.*;
   ...
   assumeTrue(...);

If called with an expression evaluating to false, the test will halt and be ignored.
Params:
/** * If called with an expression evaluating to {@code false}, the test will halt and be ignored. * * @param b If <code>false</code>, the method will attempt to stop the test and ignore it by * throwing {@link AssumptionViolatedException}. * @param message A message to pass to {@link AssumptionViolatedException}. */

Call to assume that actual satisfies the condition specified by matcher. If not, the test halts and is ignored. Example:
:
  assumeThat(1, is(1)); // passes
  foo(); // will execute
  assumeThat(0, is(1)); // assumption failure! test halts
  int x = 1 / 0; // will never execute
Params:
  • actual – the computed value being compared
  • matcher – an expression, built of Matchers, specifying allowed values
Type parameters:
  • <T> – the static type accepted by the matcher (this can flag obvious compile-time problems such as assumeThat(1, is("a"))

Use to assume that an operation completes normally. If e is non-null, the test will halt and be ignored. For example:
\@Test public void parseDataFile() {
  DataFile file;
  try {
    file = DataFile.open("sampledata.txt");
  } catch (IOException e) {
    // stop test and ignore if data can't be opened
    assumeNoException(e);
  }
  // ...
}
Params:
  • e – if non-null, the offending exception
