Class DbJson

java.lang.Object

io.ebean.test.DbJson

public class DbJson
extends Object

Helper for testing to assert that the JSON form of an entity or list of entities is as expected.

Using assertContains() we can match the JSON form of an entity against a subset of JSON content. Typically the subset of JSON excludes generated properties like id, when created and when modified properties.

Assert contains

    DbJson.of(order)
      .assertContains("/order-partial.json");

 

Assert content matches

Using assertContentMatches() we are doing an exact content match. We typically need to replace generated property values. This assert will start to fail if the model changes like adding a property to the entity so we should use it less widely due to the maintenance burden we have with it.

    DbJson.of(order)
      .replace("id", "whenCreated", "whenModified)
      .assertContentMatches("/order-full.json");
