Does anyone try to use assertJ with kotlin?

[jk]

I do, it works well

[todd.ginsberg]

Yes, I do, I like it.

[mike_shysh]

hmm... I imported dependency, but still can't use 'assertThat'

[jk]

are you using intelliJ?

@todd.ginsberg @jk does it work well with nullable types? i.e. do you have to !! every time you are dealing with nullable value in assertion?

[todd.ginsberg]

Not really. AssertJ is still java underneath and is expecting nullable objects in the assertThat() method.

So tests like this fail, but I would expect them to:

val x: String? = null
assertThat(x).isBlank()

[mike_shysh]

I use itelijidea

[jk]

@mike_shysh did you refresh the gradle project after adding the dependency?

[mike_shysh]

yes, I see assertJ-core at the External libraries

[mike_shysh]

may be I just using it wrong, I would appreciate any example or link to example?

[jk]

importing and using it is the same as what you would do in java

[mike_shysh]

tnx, I should have imported it directly typing
import org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.*

[mike_shysh]

I got used to do it automatically by intelijidea in java=)
