Power Assertions for Java

[stokito]

Please take this project too under your umbrella https://github.com/jkschneider/java-power-assert
I can't tell you exactly what it may need to change but it's better to notify authors

Sorry, I am not quite sure what you are requesting here.

@kcooney , I've described a couple of cases in the following issues:

• Consider supporting power assert / caller argument expression junit-team/junit5#3176
• Support diagramming of any function bnorm/kotlin-power-assert#35 (comment)

For opentest4j, it might be relevant for ValueWrapper:

opentest4j/src/main/java/org/opentest4j/ValueWrapper.java

Line 84 in 56860b5

public static ValueWrapper create(Object value, String stringRepresentation) {

Currently, the user has to provide stringRepresentation manually.
However, when no stringRepresentation is provided, the compiler could infer and provide a decent fallback.
For instance, suppose the user writes ValueWrapper.create(resultSet.next()), and the compiler transforms it into ValueWrapper(resultSet.next(), "resultSet.next()").

Then users get better-than-nothing representations while they still write tests as usual.
Of course, it won't completely replace human-provided messages, however, it would still be helpful.
