Precision of Junit 5's assertEquals with double












1















Looks like exact doubles aren't considered equal in junit 5
The following code fails in junit 5



public void testDouble() {        
org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals(87.91622222222225d, 87.91622222222225d, 0.0);
}


and the same in junit 4, passes the test



public void testDouble() {
org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(87.91622222222225d, 87.91622222222225d, 0.0);
}


Is there a good explanation for this difference?

    Read the error message you got. It tells you precisely what the problem is: "positive delta expected but was: <0.0>". If you don't want a delta, use the method that doesn't take a delta.

  • Still interested in the rationale behind the change, because this single change makes it very difficult to migrate JUnit 4 code.
