    • Method Detail

      • convertStreamToString

        public static String convertStreamToString​(InputStream stream)
        Converts an InputStream of text to a String, closing the stream before returning.
        • Newlines are converted to Unix newlines (\n)
        • Default charset encoding is used to read the stream.
        • Any IOException reading the stream is 'squashed' and not made available to caller
        • An additional newline is appended at the end of the string.
          Parameters:
          stream -
          Returns:
          a possibly empty but non-null String
        • equalsToIgnoreEndline

          public static boolean equalsToIgnoreEndline​(String expected,
                                                      String actual)
          Compares two strings in a case-sensitive manner for equality, line by line, ignoring any difference of end line delimiters contained within the 2 Strings.
          This method should be used if and only if two Strings are considered identical when all nodes are identical including their relative order. Generally useful when asserting identity of automatically regenerated XML or PDB.
          Parameters:
          expected -
          actual -
        • equalsToXml

          public static boolean equalsToXml​(String expected,
                                            String actual)
          This method is not implemented or used, never returns true and should probably be removed.
          Parameters:
          expected -
          actual -
          Returns:
          Throws:
