how to include hamcrest collection and corematchers junit code example

Example 1: what is hamcrest for

Hamcrest is a framework for writing matcher objects
allowing 'match' rules to be defined declaratively.


import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import static org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert.assertThat;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;
public class BiscuitTest {
@Test
public void testEquals() {
Biscuit theBiscuit = new Biscuit("Ginger");
Biscuit myBiscuit = new Biscuit("Ginger");
assertThat(theBiscuit, equalTo(myBiscuit));

Example 2: error: The method assertThat(T, Matcher) in the type MatcherAssert is not applicable for the arguments (List, Matcher>)

// JUnit 4 for equals check
assertEquals(expected, actual);
// Hamcrest for equals check
assertThat(actual, is(equalTo(expected)));

// JUnit 4 for not equals check
assertNotEquals(expected, actual)
// Hamcrest for not equals check
assertThat(actual, is(not(equalTo(expected))));
