    AssertionChain Class
    In This Topic
    Provides a fluent API to build simple or composite assertions, and which can flow from one assertion to another.

    Syntax
    [StackTraceHidden()]
    public sealed class AssertionChain 
    Remarks
    This is the core engine of many of the assertion APIs in this library. When combined with AssertionScope, you can run multiple assertions which failure messages will be collected until the scope is disposed.

    Public Properties
     NameDescription
    Public PropertyThe effective caller identifier including any prefixes and postfixes configured through WithCallerPostfix.  
    Public Property Indicates whether the caller identifier has been manually overridden.  
    Public PropertyGets a value indicating whether all assertions in the AssertionChain have succeeded.

    Public Methods
     NameDescription
    Public MethodOverloaded.  Adds some information to the assertion that will be included in the message that is emitted if an assertion fails.  
    Public MethodOverloaded.  Adds an explanation of why the assertion is supposed to succeed to the scope.  
    Public MethodOverloaded. Evaluates the ForCondition, and, if false, raises the appropriate exception specific for the detected test framework.  
    Public MethodSets the boolean condition that determines if the assertion succeeds or not.  
    Public Method  
    Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Either starts a new assertion chain, or, when ReuseOnce was called, for once, will return an existing instance.  
    Public Method  
    Public Method Allows overriding the caller identifier for the next call to one of the `FailWith` overloads instead of relying on the automatic behavior that extracts the variable names from the C# code.  
    Public MethodEnsures that the next call to GetOrCreate will reuse the current instance.  
    Public MethodAdds a postfix such as [0] to the caller identifier detected by the library.  
    Public Method Adds a specified prefix to the caller identifier used in the current assertion chain.  
    Public Method  
    Public MethodOverloaded. Sets an expectation message that will be reused by nested assertions in the specified System.Action function.  
    Public MethodFluent alternative for AddReportable(String,String)

    Extension Methods
     NameDescription
    Public Extension MethodSafely casts the specified object to the type specified through TTo.
    Public Extension MethodOverloaded. Invokes the specified action on a subject so that you can chain it with any of the assertions from FluentAssertions.Specialized.NonGenericAsyncFunctionAssertions
    Public Extension MethodOverloaded. Forces enumerating a collection. Should be used to assert that a method that uses the yield keyword throws a particular exception.
    Public Extension Method Provides methods for asserting the execution time of a method or property.
    Public Extension MethodOverloaded. Invokes the specified action on a subject so that you can chain it with any of the assertions from FluentAssertions.Specialized.ActionAssertions
    Public Extension MethodOverloaded. Starts monitoring eventSource for its events.
    Public Extension MethodOverloaded. Returns an FluentAssertions.Specialized.ExecutionTimeAssertions object that can be used to assert the current FluentAssertions.Specialized.ExecutionTime.
    Public Extension MethodOverloaded. Returns an FluentAssertions.Primitives.EnumAssertions<TEnum,TAssertions> object that can be used to assert the current TEnum.
    Public Extension MethodOverloaded. Returns an object that provides various assertion APIs that act on a System.Text.Json.Nodes.JsonNode.
