class (none) \ PHPUnit_Framework_Constraint_IsIdentical

All implemented interfaces:
Countable, PHPUnit_Framework_SelfDescribing

Constraint that asserts that one value is identical to another.

Identical check is performed with PHP's === operator, the operator is explained in detail at {@url http://www.php.net/manual/en/types.comparisons.php}. Two values are identical if they have the same value and are of the same type.

The expected value is passed in the constructor.

public function evaluate($other, $description = "", $returnResult = false)

Evaluates the constraint for parameter $other

If $returnResult is set to false (the default), an exception is thrown in case of a failure. null is returned otherwise.

If $returnResult is true, the result of the evaluation is returned as a boolean value instead: true in case of success, false in case of a failure.

Overrides:
evaluate($other, $description = "", $returnResult = false)
Parameters:
mixed - $other Value or object to evaluate.
string - $description Additional information about the test
bool - $returnResult Whether to return a result or throw an exception
Defaults:
description = ""
returnResult = false
Returns:
mixed
Throws:
PHPUnit_Framework_ExpectationFailedException

string

public function toString()

Returns a string representation of the constraint.
