Spock - approximate comparisions

I’ve been looking for the Spock equivalent of the following convenience method in JUnit whereby you can do “approximate” comparisons. Does anyone know if such a thing exists?



/**
* Asserts that two doubles or floats are equal to within a positive delta.
*/
assertEquals(double expected, double actual, double delta)

  • You may want to use Hamcrest matchers.

There is build in function for that, described in official docs:



when:
def x = computeValue()

then:
expect x, closeTo(42, 0.01)


Check the specs.

I don't know if there's a Spock equivalent but it's easy to write your own



class Foo extends Specification {

private boolean compareApproximately(Number expected, Number actual, Number delta) {
Math.abs(expected - actual) <= delta
}

def "approximate test"() {
expect:
compareApproximately(4, 4.5, 1)
!compareApproximately(4, 4.5, 0.1)
}
}


In practice, you'd probably want to make compareApproximately reusable across specs by defining it in a trait, subclass of Specification, or a static method in a utility class.
