Preconditions (Google App Engine API for Java)

Class Preconditions

  • java.lang.Object
    • com.google.appengine.api.search.checkers.Preconditions


  • public final class Preconditions
    extends java.lang.Object
    Simple static methods to be called at the start of your own methods to verify correct arguments and state. This allows constructs such as
    
     if (count <= 0) {
       throw new IllegalArgumentException("must be positive: " + count);
     }
     
    to be replaced with the more compact
          checkArgument(count > 0, "must be positive: %s", count);

    Note that the sense of the expression is inverted; with Preconditions you declare what you expect to be true, just as you do with an assert or a JUnit assertTrue call.

    Note:This class is a copy of a very old version of Guava's Preconditions. Please use the current Guava version instead.

      • checkArgument

        public static void checkArgument(boolean expression,
                                         java.lang.Object errorMessage)
        Ensures the truth of an expression involving one or more parameters to the calling method.
        Parameters:
        expression - a boolean expression
        errorMessage - the exception message to use if the check fails; will be converted to a string using String.valueOf(Object) if not null (a null will not be converted).
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if expression is false
      • checkArgument

        public static void checkArgument(boolean expression,
