Class HasXPathMatcher

java.lang.Object

org.hamcrest.BaseMatcher<Object>

org.xmlunit.matchers.HasXPathMatcher

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.hamcrest.Matcher<Object>, org.hamcrest.SelfDescribing

public class HasXPathMatcher
extends org.hamcrest.BaseMatcher<Object>

This Hamcrest Matcher verifies whether the provided XPath expression corresponds to at least one element in the provided object.

All types which are supported by Input.from(Object) can be used as input for the object against the matcher is evaluated.

Simple Example

 final String xml = "<a><b attr=\"abc\"></b></a>";

 assertThat(xml, hasXPath("//a/b/@attr"));
 assertThat(xml, not(hasXPath("//a/b/c")));
 

Example with namespace mapping

    String xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>" +
          "<feed xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\">" +
          "   <title>title</title>" +
          "   <entry>" +
          "       <title>title1</title>" +
          "       <id>id1</id>" +
          "   </entry>" +
          "</feed>";

    HashMap<String, String> prefix2Uri = new HashMap<String, String>();
    prefix2Uri.put("atom", "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom");
    assertThat(xmlRootElement,
          hasXPath("//atom:feed/atom:entry/atom:id").withNamespaceContext(prefix2Uri));

describeMismatch in interface org.hamcrest.Matcher<Object>

Overrides:

describeMismatch in class org.hamcrest.BaseMatcher<Object>

hasXPath

public static HasXPathMatcher hasXPath(String xPath)

Creates a matcher that matches when the examined XML input has at least one node corresponding to the specified xPath.

For example:

assertThat(xml, hasXPath("/root/cars[0]/audi"))

Parameters:

xPath - the target xpath

Returns:

the xpath matcher

withNamespaceContext

public HasXPathMatcher withNamespaceContext(Map<String,String> prefix2Uri)

Utility method used for creating a namespace context mapping to be used in XPath matching.

Parameters:

prefix2Uri - prefix2Uri maps from prefix to namespace URI. It is used to resolve XML namespace prefixes in the XPath expression
