java - junit assertEquals ignore case -

im moving c# -> java. need write tests using junit. in test need compare 2 strings see if match. have assert.assertequals, case sensitive. how can make case insensitive? need is:

"blabla".equals("blabla") 

to return true.

so in c#, used have :

public static void areequal (     string expected,     string actual,     bool ignorecase,     string message ) 

i going thru junit docs, can't seem find this.

i find hamcrest provides must better assertions default junit asserts. hamcrest gives many many more options , provides better messages on failure. basic hamcrest matchers built junit , junit has assertthat built in not totally new. see hamcrest.core package in junit api here. try isequalignoringcase this.

assertthat(mystring, isequalignoringcase.equaltoignoringcase(expected)); 

with static imports be

assertthat(mystring, equaltoignoringcase(expected)); 

if want fancy do:

assertthat(mystring, is(equaltoignoringcase(expected))); 

one of advantages of failure state expected somestring someotherstring. opposed expected true got false when using asserttrue.
