java - JUnit compare objects in collections except specified fields in contained objects -

junit tests...

it needs compare 2 single elements excepting fields. can use assertj this:

assertions.assertthat(actual).isequaltoignoringgivenfields(except, "id", "innercollection"); 

and works good. it's not enough. need compare inner collections also. know ids different in inner collection. possible compare ones like

assertions.assertthat(to.getinnercollection()).isequaltoignoringgivenfields(from.getinnercollection() , {except fields in collection elements}); 

in case, rather consider create own custom matcher.

that straight-forward task; can find detailed example here.
