equalToCompressingWhiteSpaceback to summary
public static Matcher<String> equalToCompressingWhiteSpace(String expectedString)

Creates a matcher of String that matches when the examined string is equal to the specified expectedString, when whitespace differences are (mostly) ignored. To be exact, the following whitespace rules are applied:

  • all leading and trailing whitespace of both the expectedString and the examined string are ignored
  • any remaining whitespace, appearing within either string, is collapsed to a single space before comparison
For example: 
assertThat("   my\tfoo  bar ", equalToCompressingWhiteSpace(" my  foo bar"))
Parameters
expectedString:String

the expected value of matched strings
