0.1

[astubbs]

Initial release

Features

Primary

• Boiler plate and assertion generator system for {googletruth}
• Template generation so that Users can easily add assertions, be added to VCS for maintenance and automatic incorporation to future Subject tree generation runs
• Chained assertion strategies (e.g. assertThat(person).hasAddress().hasStreet().ignoringCase().endsWith('Rd')
• Recursive generation of Subjects so you don’t have to register them yourself - including going into external and/or restricted modules (i.e. java's UUID, ZonedDateTime etc)
  -- For example, you register only a single class with the plugin, and it will generate Subject's for every single referenced class in the tree.
• Generated assertion strategies for standard field types
• Single convenient entry point for all managed Subjects
• Extendable root Subjects from the Truth library injected into generated code, e.g.:
  -- MyStringSubject : Equality check ignoring white space and line endings, file content equality
  -- MyMapSubject : key content check and others
• Subject's for restricted packages automatically shaded (like java.* classes - UUID etc) Tree depth limits can potentially be added to limit the quantity of generated code.
• Maven plugin (can make plugins for other systems if requested)

Secondary

• Dog foods - uses its own bootstrapped Subjects to test itself
• Various ways to specify classes under test for generation in the plugin
• Detection of existing user managed Subjects under version control - won't regenerate, and will be injected into the generated structure
• Support for legacy non bean compliant objects like Kafka's https://kafka.apache.org/21/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/ConsumerRecord.html[ConsumerRecord]
• Collections, maps etc generic types are read and used in generated assertions
  -- i.e. assertThat(Map<MyKey, ?> map)#containsKey(MyKey key)
• Customisable extension points for base subjects (like list and map) which will apply to all types in generated tree (where generated entry points are used)
