How to AssertJ assertThat Consumer

[rjclancy]

Im currently building a custom maven test report plugin that captures unit and integration tests results. While trying to capture as much test information as possible, I am able to capture AssertJ descriptions using something like this >

// initialize the description consumer
final StringBuilder descriptionReportBuilder = new StringBuilder(String.format("Assertions:%n"));
Consumer<Description> descriptionConsumer = desc -> descriptionReportBuilder.append(String.format("-- %s%n", desc));

// use the description consumer for any following assertions descriptions.
Assertions.setDescriptionConsumer(descriptionConsumer);

// execute some assertions
TolkienCharacter frodo = new TolkienCharacter("Frodo", 33, Race.HOBBIT);
assertThat(frodo.getName()).as("check name").isEqualTo("Frodo");
assertThat(frodo.getAge()).as("check age").isEqualTo(33);

// get the report
String descriptionReport = descriptionReportBuilder.toString();

Is there anything similar in the framework for consuming or capturing the actual values from assetThats, that are exectued during a test?

Iv navigated through the code but cannot find anything. I am able to extend the Assertion class but id opt for a better way

Any help appreciate.

There is no such thing, we only provide a description consumer as you pointed out.

If you play with bytebuddy, you might be able to intercept assertion calls (like we do with soft assertions) and gather more information, but it's not out of the box so you will need to provide your own mechanism and make sure your tests use it.
