AssertContains on strings in jUnit

Question

Is there a nicer way to write in jUnit

String x = \"foo bar\";
Assert.assertTrue(x.contains(\"foo\"));

Answer 1

I've tried out many answers on this page, none really worked:

• org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.containsString does not compile, cannot resolve method.
• JUnitMatchers.containsString is depricated (and refers to CoreMatchers.containsString).
• org.hamcrest.Matchers.containsString: NoSuchMethodError

So instead of writing readable code, I decided to use the simple and workable approach mentioned in the question instead.

Hopefully another solution will come up.
