+// Package oglematchers provides a set of matchers useful in a testing or
+// mocking framework. These matchers are inspired by and mostly compatible with
+// Google Test for C++ and Google JS Test.
+//
+// This package is used by github.com/smartystreets/assertions/internal/ogletest and
+// github.com/smartystreets/assertions/internal/oglemock, which may be more directly useful if you're not
+// writing your own testing package or defining your own matchers.
+package oglematchers
+
+// A Matcher is some predicate implicitly defining a set of values that it
+// matches. For example, GreaterThan(17) matches all numeric values greater
+// than 17, and HasSubstr("taco") matches all strings with the substring
+// "taco".
+//
+// Matchers are typically exposed to tests via constructor functions like
+// HasSubstr. In order to implement such a function you can either define your
+// own matcher type or use NewMatcher.
+type Matcher interface {
+ // Check whether the supplied value belongs to the the set defined by the
+ // matcher. Return a non-nil error if and only if it does not.
+ //
+ // The error describes why the value doesn't match. The error text is a
+ // relative clause that is suitable for being placed after the value. For
+ // example, a predicate that matches strings with a particular substring may,
+ // when presented with a numerical value, return the following error text:
+ //
+ // "which is not a string"
+ //
+ // Then the failure message may look like:
+ //
+ // Expected: has substring "taco"
+ // Actual: 17, which is not a string
+ //
+ // If the error is self-apparent based on the description of the matcher, the
+ // error text may be empty (but the error still non-nil). For example:
+ //
+ // Expected: 17
+ // Actual: 19
+ //
+ // If you are implementing a new matcher, see also the documentation on
+ // FatalError.
+ Matches(candidate interface{}) error
+
+ // Description returns a string describing the property that values matching
+ // this matcher have, as a verb phrase where the subject is the value. For
+ // example, "is greather than 17" or "has substring "taco"".
+ Description() string
+}
+
+// FatalError is an implementation of the error interface that may be returned
+// from matchers, indicating the error should be propagated. Returning a
+// *FatalError indicates that the matcher doesn't process values of the
+// supplied type, or otherwise doesn't know how to handle the value.
+//
+// For example, if GreaterThan(17) returned false for the value "taco" without
+// a fatal error, then Not(GreaterThan(17)) would return true. This is
+// technically correct, but is surprising and may mask failures where the wrong
+// sort of matcher is accidentally used. Instead, GreaterThan(17) can return a
+// fatal error, which will be propagated by Not().
+type FatalError struct {
+ errorText string
+}
+
+// NewFatalError creates a FatalError struct with the supplied error text.
+func NewFatalError(s string) *FatalError {
+ return &FatalError{s}
+}
+
+func (e *FatalError) Error() string {
+ return e.errorText
+}
