DefaultComparisonFormatter

public DefaultComparisonFormatter()

Method Details

getDescription

public String getDescription(Comparison difference)

Return a short String of the Comparison including the XPath and the shorten value of the effected control and test Node.

In general the String will look like "Expected X 'Y' but was 'Z' - comparing A to B" where A and B are the result of invoking getShortString(org.w3c.dom.Node, java.lang.String, org.xmlunit.diff.ComparisonType) on the target and XPath of the control and test details of the comparison. A is the description of the comparison and B and C are the control and test values (passed through getValue(java.lang.Object, org.xmlunit.diff.ComparisonType)) respectively.

For missing attributes the string has a slightly different format.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface ComparisonFormatter

Parameters:

difference - the comparison to describe

Returns:

a short description of the comparison

setTransformerFactory

public void setTransformerFactory(TransformerFactory f)

Set the TraX factory to use.

Parameters:

f - the factory to use - may be null in which case the default factory will be used.

Since:

2.8.0

getValue

protected Object getValue(Object value,
 ComparisonType type)

May alter the display of a comparison value for getShortString(org.w3c.dom.Node, java.lang.String, org.xmlunit.diff.ComparisonType) based on the comparison type.

This implementation returns value unless it is a comparison of node types in which case the numeric value (one of the constants defined in the Node class) is mapped to a more useful String.

Parameters:

value - the value to display

type - the comparison type

Returns:

the display value

Since:

XMLUnit 2.4.0

getShortString

protected String getShortString(Node node,
 String xpath,
 ComparisonType type)

Return a String representation for getShortString(org.w3c.dom.Node, java.lang.String, org.xmlunit.diff.ComparisonType) that describes the "thing" that has been compared so users know how to locate it.

Examples are "<bar ...> at /foo[1]/bar[1]" for a comparison of elements or "<!-- Comment Text --> at /foo[2]/comment()[1]" for a comment.

This implementation dispatches to several appendX methods based on the comparison type or the type of the node.

Parameters:

node - the node to describe

xpath - xpath of the node if applicable

type - the comparison type

Returns:

the formatted result

Since:

XMLUnit 2.4.0

appendDocumentXmlDeclaration

protected boolean appendDocumentXmlDeclaration(StringBuilder sb,
 Document doc)

Appends the XML declaration for getShortString(org.w3c.dom.Node, java.lang.String, org.xmlunit.diff.ComparisonType) or appendFullDocumentHeader(java.lang.StringBuilder, org.w3c.dom.Document) if it contains non-default values.

Parameters:

sb - the builder to append to

doc - document to obtain the XML declaration from

Returns:

true if the XML declaration has been appended

Since:

appendDocumentElementIndication

protected void appendDocumentElementIndication(StringBuilder sb,

getDetails in interface ComparisonFormatter

Parameters:

difference - The Comparison.getControlDetails() or Comparison.getTestDetails().

type - the implementation can return different details depending on the ComparisonType.
