FESTassertThat() method incorrect behavior

Question

I'm running the assertThat() method in the FEST library. But don't understand the runtime behaviour for the code below which runs in a while loop.

assertThat(Priority >= nextPriority);

At runtime Priority = 1 and nextPriority = 2, but when I debug this statement the method, the method doesn't exit but continues to the next line within the while loop.

Does anyone know why this happenns?

Answer 1

assertThat() doesn't verify any assertion. What you want is

assertThat(priority >= nextPriority).isTrue();

or better:

assertThat(priority).isGreaterThanOrEqualTo(nextPriority);
