You can use it inside `ON_CALL()` or +`EXPECT_CALL()`, or use it to validate a value directly using two macros: + +| Macro | Description | +| :----------------------------------- | :------------------------------------ | +| `EXPECT_THAT(actual_value, matcher)` | Asserts that `actual_value` matches `matcher`. | +| `ASSERT_THAT(actual_value, matcher)` | The same as `EXPECT_THAT(actual_value, matcher)`, except that it generates a **fatal** failure. | + +{: .callout .note} +**Note:** Although equality matching via `EXPECT_THAT(actual_value, +expected_value)` is supported, prefer to make the comparison explicit via +`EXPECT_THAT(actual_value, Eq(expected_value))` or `EXPECT_EQ(actual_value, +expected_value)`. + +Built-in matchers (where `argument` is the function argument, e.g. +`actual_value` in the example above, or when used in the context of +`EXPECT_CALL(mock_object, method(matchers))`, the arguments of `method`) are +divided into several categories. All matchers are defined in the `::testing` +namespace unless otherwise noted. + +## Wildcard + +Matcher | Description +:-------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------- +`_` | `argument` can be any value of the correct type. +`A<type>()` or `An<type>()` | `argument` can be any value of type `type`. + +## Generic Comparison + +| Matcher | Description | +| :--------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------- | +| `Eq(value)` or `value` | `argument == value` | +| `Ge(value)` | `argument >= value` | +| `Gt(value)` | `argument > value` | +| `Le(value)` | `argument <= value` | +| `Lt(value)` | `argument < value` | +| `Ne(value)` | `argument != value` | +| `IsFalse()` | `argument` evaluates to `false` in a Boolean context. | +| `IsTrue()` | `argument` evaluates to `true` in a Boolean context. | +| `IsNull()` | `argument` is a `NULL` pointer (raw or smart). | +| `NotNull()` | `argument` is a non-null pointer (raw or smart). | +| `Optional(m)` | `argument` is `optional<>` that contains a value matching `m`. (For testing whether an `optional<>` is set, check for equality with `nullopt`. You may need to use `Eq(nullopt)` if the inner type doesn't have `==`.)| +| `VariantWith<T>(m)` | `argument` is `variant<>` that holds the alternative of type T with a value matching `m`. | +| `Ref(variable)` | `argument` is a reference to `variable`. | +| `TypedEq<type>(value)` | `argument` has type `type` and is equal to `value`. You may need to use this instead of `Eq(value)` when the mock function is overloaded. | + +Except `Ref()`, these matchers make a *copy* of `value` in case it's modified or +destructed later. If the compiler complains that `value` doesn't have a public +copy constructor, try wrap it in `std::ref()`, e.g. +`Eq(std::ref(non_copyable_value))`. If you do that, make sure +`non_copyable_value` is not changed afterwards, or the meaning of your matcher +will be changed. + +`IsTrue` and `IsFalse` are useful when you need to use a matcher, or for types +that can be explicitly converted to Boolean, but are not implicitly converted to +Boolean. In other cases, you can use the basic +[`EXPECT_TRUE` and `EXPECT_FALSE`](assertions.md#boolean) assertions. + +## Floating-Point Matchers {#FpMatchers} + +| Matcher | Description | +| :------------------------------- | :--------------------------------- | +| `DoubleEq(a_double)` | `argument` is a `double` value approximately equal to `a_double`, treating two NaNs as unequal. | +| `FloatEq(a_float)` | `argument` is a `float` value approximately equal to `a_float`, treating two NaNs as unequal. | +| `NanSensitiveDoubleEq(a_double)` | `argument` is a `double` value approximately equal to `a_double`, treating two NaNs as equal. | +| `NanSensitiveFloatEq(a_float)` | `argument` is a `float` value approximately equal to `a_float`, treating two NaNs as equal. | +| `IsNan()` | `argument` is any floating-point type with a NaN value. | + +The above matchers use ULP-based comparison (the same as used in googletest). +They automatically pick a reasonable error bound based on the absolute value of +the expected value. `DoubleEq()` and `FloatEq()` conform to the IEEE standard, +which requires comparing two NaNs for equality to return false. The +`NanSensitive*` version instead treats two NaNs as equal, which is often what a +user wants. + +| Matcher | Description | +| :------------------------------------------------ | :----------------------- | +| `DoubleNear(a_double, max_abs_error)` | `argument` is a `double` value close to `a_double` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as unequal. | +| `FloatNear(a_float, max_abs_error)` | `argument` is a `float` value close to `a_float` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as unequal. | +| `NanSensitiveDoubleNear(a_double, max_abs_error)` | `argument` is a `double` value close to `a_double` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as equal. | +| `NanSensitiveFloatNear(a_float, max_abs_error)` | `argument` is a `float` value close to `a_float` (absolute error <= `max_abs_error`), treating two NaNs as equal. | + +## String Matchers + +The `argument` can be either a C string or a C++ string object: + +| Matcher | Description | +| :---------------------- | :------------------------------------------------- | +| `ContainsRegex(string)` | `argument` matches the given regular expression. | +| `EndsWith(suffix)` | `argument` ends with string `suffix`. | +| `HasSubstr(string)` | `argument` contains `string` as a sub-string. | +| `IsEmpty()` | `argument` is an empty string. | +| `MatchesRegex(string)` | `argument` matches the given regular expression with the match starting at the first character and ending at the last character. | +| `StartsWith(prefix)` | `argument` starts with string `prefix`. | +| `StrCaseEq(string)` | `argument` is equal to `string`, ignoring case. | +| `StrCaseNe(string)` | `argument` is not equal to `string`, ignoring case. | +| `StrEq(string)` | `argument` is equal to `string`. | +| `StrNe(string)` | `argument` is not equal to `string`. | +| `WhenBase64Unescaped(m)` | `argument` is a base-64 escaped string whose unescaped string matches `m`. | + +`ContainsRegex()` and `MatchesRegex()` take ownership of the `RE` object. They +use the regular expression syntax defined +[here](../advanced.md#regular-expression-syntax). All of these matchers, except +`ContainsRegex()` and `MatchesRegex()` work for wide strings as well. + +## Container Matchers + +Most STL-style containers support `==`, so you can use `Eq(expected_container)` +or simply `expected_container` to match a container exactly. If you want to +write the elements in-line, match them more flexibly, or get more informative +messages, you can use: + +| Matcher | Description | +| :---------------------------------------- | :------------------------------- | +| `BeginEndDistanceIs(m)` | `argument` is a container whose `begin()` and `end()` iterators are separated by a number of increments matching `m`. E.g. `BeginEndDistanceIs(2)` or `BeginEndDistanceIs(Lt(2))`. For containers that define a `size()` method, `SizeIs(m)` may be more efficient. | +| `ContainerEq(container)` | The same as `Eq(container)` except that the failure message also includes which elements are in one container but not the other. | +| `Contains(e)` | `argument` contains an element that matches `e`, which can be either a value or a matcher. | +| `Contains(e).Times(n)` | `argument` contains elements that match `e`, which can be either a value or a matcher, and the number of matches is `n`, which can be either a value or a matcher. Unlike the plain `Contains` and `Each` this allows to check for arbitrary occurrences including testing for absence with `Contains(e).Times(0)`. | +| `Each(e)` | `argument` is a container where *every* element matches `e`, which can be either a value or a matcher. | +| `ElementsAre(e0, e1, ..., en)` | `argument` has `n + 1` elements, where the *i*-th element matches `ei`, which can be a value or a matcher. | +| `ElementsAreArray({e0, e1, ..., en})`, `ElementsAreArray(a_container)`, `ElementsAreArray(begin, end)`, `ElementsAreArray(array)`, or `ElementsAreArray(array, count)` | The same as `ElementsAre()` except that the expected element values/matchers come from an initializer list, STL-style container, iterator range, or C-style array. | +| `IsEmpty()` | `argument` is an empty container (`container.empty()`). | +| `IsSubsetOf({e0, e1, ..., en})`, `IsSubsetOf(a_container)`, `IsSubsetOf(begin, end)`, `IsSubsetOf(array)`, or `IsSubsetOf(array, count)` | `argument` matches `UnorderedElementsAre(x0, x1, ..., xk)` for some subset `{x0, x1, ..., xk}` of the expected matchers. | +| `IsSupersetOf({e0, e1, ..., en})`, `IsSupersetOf(a_container)`, `IsSupersetOf(begin, end)`, `IsSupersetOf(array)`, or `IsSupersetOf(array, count)` | Some subset of `argument` matches `UnorderedElementsAre(`expected matchers`)`. | +| `Pointwise(m, container)`, `Pointwise(m, {e0, e1, ..., en})` | `argument` contains the same number of elements as in `container`, and for all i, (the i-th element in `argument`, the i-th element in `container`) match `m`, which is a matcher on 2-tuples. E.g. `Pointwise(Le(), upper_bounds)` verifies that each element in `argument` doesn't exceed the corresponding element in `upper_bounds`. See more detail below. | +| `SizeIs(m)` | `argument` is a container whose size matches `m`. E.g. `SizeIs(2)` or `SizeIs(Lt(2))`. | +| `UnorderedElementsAre(e0, e1, ..., en)` | `argument` has `n + 1` elements, and under *some* permutation of the elements, each element matches an `ei` (for a different `i`), which can be a value or a matcher. | +| `UnorderedElementsAreArray({e0, e1, ..., en})`, `UnorderedElementsAreArray(a_container)`, `UnorderedElementsAreArray(begin, end)`, `UnorderedElementsAreArray(array)`, or `UnorderedElementsAreArray(array, count)` | The same as `UnorderedElementsAre()` except that the expected element values/matchers come from an initializer list, STL-style container, iterator range, or C-style array. | +| `UnorderedPointwise(m, container)`, `UnorderedPointwise(m, {e0, e1, ..., en})` | Like `Pointwise(m, container)`, but ignores the order of elements. | +| `WhenSorted(m)` | When `argument` is sorted using the `<` operator, it matches container matcher `m`. E.g. `WhenSorted(ElementsAre(1, 2, 3))` verifies that `argument` contains elements 1, 2, and 3, ignoring order. | +| `WhenSortedBy(comparator, m)` | The same as `WhenSorted(m)`, except that the given comparator instead of `<` is used to sort `argument`. E.g. `WhenSortedBy(std::greater(), ElementsAre(3, 2, 1))`. | + +**Notes:** + +* These matchers can also match: + 1. a native array passed by reference (e.g. in `Foo(const int (&a)[5])`), + and + 2. an array passed as a pointer and a count (e.g. in `Bar(const T* buffer, + int len)` -- see [Multi-argument Matchers](#MultiArgMatchers)). +* The array being matched may be multi-dimensional (i.e. its elements can be + arrays). +* `m` in `Pointwise(m, ...)` and `UnorderedPointwise(m, ...)` should be a + matcher for `::std::tuple<T, U>` where `T` and `U` are the element type of + the actual container and the expected container, respectively. For example, + to compare two `Foo` containers where `Foo` doesn't support `operator==`, + one might write: + + ```cpp + MATCHER(FooEq, "") { + return std::get<0>(arg).Equals(std::get<1>(arg)); + } + ... + EXPECT_THAT(actual_foos, Pointwise(FooEq(), expected_foos)); + ``` + +## Member Matchers + +| Matcher | Description | +| :------------------------------ | :----------------------------------------- | +| `Field(&class::field, m)` | `argument.field` (or `argument->field` when `argument` is a plain pointer) matches matcher `m`, where `argument` is an object of type _class_. | +| `Field(field_name, &class::field, m)` | The same as the two-parameter version, but provides a better error message. | +| `Key(e)` | `argument.first` matches `e`, which can be either a value or a matcher. E.g. `Contains(Key(Le(5)))` can verify that a `map` contains a key `<= 5`. | +| `Pair(m1, m2)` | `argument` is an `std::pair` whose `first` field matches `m1` and `second` field matches `m2`. | +| `FieldsAre(m...)` | `argument` is a compatible object where each field matches piecewise with the matchers `m...`. A compatible object is any that supports the `std::tuple_size<Obj>`+`get<I>(obj)` protocol. In C++17 and up this also supports types compatible with structured bindings, like aggregates. | +| `Property(&class::property, m)` | `argument.property()` (or `argument->property()` when `argument` is a plain pointer) matches matcher `m`, where `argument` is an object of type _class_. The method `property()` must take no argument and be declared as `const`. | +| `Property(property_name, &class::property, m)` | The same as the two-parameter version, but provides a better error message. + +**Notes:** + +* You can use `FieldsAre()` to match any type that supports structured + bindings, such as `std::tuple`, `std::pair`, `std::array`, and aggregate + types. For example: + + ```cpp + std::tuple<int, std::string> my_tuple{7, "hello world"}; + EXPECT_THAT(my_tuple, FieldsAre(Ge(0), HasSubstr("hello"))); + + struct MyStruct { + int value = 42; + std::string greeting = "aloha"; + }; + MyStruct s; + EXPECT_THAT(s, FieldsAre(42, "aloha")); + ``` + +* Don't use `Property()` against member functions that you do not own, because + taking addresses of functions is fragile and generally not part of the + contract of the function. + +## Matching the Result of a Function, Functor, or Callback + +| Matcher | Description | +| :--------------- | :------------------------------------------------ | +| `ResultOf(f, m)` | `f(argument)` matches matcher `m`, where `f` is a function or functor. | + +## Pointer Matchers + +| Matcher | Description | +| :------------------------ | :---------------------------------------------- | +| `Address(m)` | the result of `std::addressof(argument)` matches `m`. | +| `Pointee(m)` | `argument` (either a smart pointer or a raw pointer) points to a value that matches matcher `m`. | +| `Pointer(m)` | `argument` (either a smart pointer or a raw pointer) contains a pointer that matches `m`. `m` will match against the raw pointer regardless of the type of `argument`. | +| `WhenDynamicCastTo<T>(m)` | when `argument` is passed through `dynamic_cast<T>()`, it matches matcher `m`. | + +## Multi-argument Matchers {#MultiArgMatchers} + +Technically, all matchers match a *single* value. A "multi-argument" matcher is +just one that matches a *tuple*. The following matchers can be used to match a +tuple `(x, y)`: + +Matcher | Description +:------ | :---------- +`Eq()` | `x == y` +`Ge()` | `x >= y` +`Gt()` | `x > y` +`Le()` | `x <= y` +`Lt()` | `x < y` +`Ne()` | `x != y` + +You can use the following selectors to pick a subset of the arguments (or +reorder them) to participate in the matching: + +| Matcher | Description | +| :------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------- | +| `AllArgs(m)` | Equivalent to `m`. Useful as syntactic sugar in `.With(AllArgs(m))`. | +| `Args<N1, N2, ..., Nk>(m)` | The tuple of the `k` selected (using 0-based indices) arguments matches `m`, e.g. `Args<1, 2>(Eq())`. | + +## Composite Matchers + +You can make a matcher from one or more other matchers: + +| Matcher | Description | +| :------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------- | +| `AllOf(m1, m2, ..., mn)` | `argument` matches all of the matchers `m1` to `mn`. | +| `AllOfArray({m0, m1, ..., mn})`, `AllOfArray(a_container)`, `AllOfArray(begin, end)`, `AllOfArray(array)`, or `AllOfArray(array, count)` | The same as `AllOf()` except that the matchers come from an initializer list, STL-style container, iterator range, or C-style array. | +| `AnyOf(m1, m2, ..., mn)` | `argument` matches at least one of the matchers `m1` to `mn`. | +| `AnyOfArray({m0, m1, ..., mn})`, `AnyOfArray(a_container)`, `AnyOfArray(begin, end)`, `AnyOfArray(array)`, or `AnyOfArray(array, count)` | The same as `AnyOf()` except that the matchers come from an initializer list, STL-style container, iterator range, or C-style array. | +| `Not(m)` | `argument` doesn't match matcher `m`. | +| `Conditional(cond, m1, m2)` | Matches matcher `m1` if `cond` evalutes to true, else matches `m2`.| + +## Adapters for Matchers + +| Matcher | Description | +| :---------------------- | :------------------------------------ | +| `MatcherCast<T>(m)` | casts matcher `m` to type `Matcher<T>`. | +| `SafeMatcherCast<T>(m)` | [safely casts](../gmock_cook_book.md#SafeMatcherCast) matcher `m` to type `Matcher<T>`. | +| `Truly(predicate)` | `predicate(argument)` returns something considered by C++ to be true, where `predicate` is a function or functor. | + +`AddressSatisfies(callback)` and `Truly(callback)` take ownership of `callback`, +which must be a permanent callback. + +## Using Matchers as Predicates {#MatchersAsPredicatesCheat} + +| Matcher | Description | +| :---------------------------- | :------------------------------------------ | +| `Matches(m)(value)` | evaluates to `true` if `value` matches `m`. You can use `Matches(m)` alone as a unary functor. | +| `ExplainMatchResult(m, value, result_listener)` | evaluates to `true` if `value` matches `m`, explaining the result to `result_listener`. | +| `Value(value, m)` | evaluates to `true` if `value` matches `m`. | + +## Defining Matchers + +| Macro | Description | +| :----------------------------------- | :------------------------------------ | +| `MATCHER(IsEven, "") { return (arg % 2) == 0; }` | Defines a matcher `IsEven()` to match an even number. | +| `MATCHER_P(IsDivisibleBy, n, "") { *result_listener << "where the remainder is " << (arg % n); return (arg % n) == 0; }` | Defines a matcher `IsDivisibleBy(n)` to match a number divisible by `n`. | +| `MATCHER_P2(IsBetween, a, b, absl::StrCat(negation ? "isn't" : "is", " between ", PrintToString(a), " and ", PrintToString(b))) { return a <= arg && arg <= b; }` | Defines a matcher `IsBetween(a, b)` to match a value in the range [`a`, `b`]. | + +**Notes:** + +1. The `MATCHER*` macros cannot be used inside a function or class. +2. The matcher body must be *purely functional* (i.e. it cannot have any side + effect, and the result must not depend on anything other than the value + being matched and the matcher parameters). +3. You can use `PrintToString(x)` to convert a value `x` of any type to a + string. +4. You can use `ExplainMatchResult()` in a custom matcher to wrap another + matcher, for example: + + ```cpp + MATCHER_P(NestedPropertyMatches, matcher, "") { + return ExplainMatchResult(matcher, arg.nested().property(), result_listener); + } + ``` |
