Fitnesse Check Not Equal

Question

Inside Fitnesse DoFixture, you can use check keyword to compare one of the objects with an expected value. I was wondering if there is a check not equal that exists to make sure the expected and actual do not match up.

I have tried using that set of keywords but it is not supported. There is a reject keyword for DoFixtures, but it does not accomplish the goal. Anyone know of a method? For a testing framework, it seems like it should be obvious, but I've had a rough time digging through the UserGuide.

Example:

|check not equal| guid | c1acff01-e45b-4b7d-b6f5-84f8830ef6b4 | 

Scenario Pass: guid != c1acff01-e45b-4b7d-b6f5-84f8830ef6b4

Answer 1

I was unable to find this type of test condition, so instead, I put the logic inside the Fixture code with the expectation to return true when a != b. In the Fit code, I had the following:

|check|guidsNotEqual|true|

Answer 2

With fitSharp you can have

|check|mymethod|fail[myvalue]|

This will pass if mymethod is not equal to myvalue. I don't think this works with the Java FitLibrary.

Answer 3

There is an option (might be added after the question was asked). It is possible to check for something not equal by using 'check not'. So

|check not|this is true|false| 

will return true
