import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.* clashes with URI (java.net.URI) · Issue #1567 · assertj/assertj (original) (raw)

Summary

Statically importing AssertJ assertions imports fields from InstanceOfAssertFactories. The URI field shadows java.net.URI and requires fully qualified naming when using java.net.URI.

There's a similar issue for URL as these two types match exactly constant names from InstanceOfAssertFactories.

Example

import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.*;

URI.create("http://foo")
