[FIXED] Assert.fail equivalent using hamcrest

Issue

I use JUnit for Assert.fail but I do not know what is the Hamcrest equivalent. Does anyone know?

Solution

The MatcherAssert class has this method:

public static void assertThat(String reason, boolean assertion) {
    if (!assertion) {
        throw new AssertionError(reason);
    }
}

So when invoked it would be the closest thing:

MatcherAssert.assertThat("Fail here", false);
