How to assert returning object in Java Springbok Unit

I want to assert the object which is returned from the method that I am testing in Junit using Assertions.AssertEquals but its giving test case failure even though two objects are same.

Expected :Customer{Id=1, Name='ABC', Price=350, Type='ABC'} Actual :Customer{Id=1, Name='ABC', Price=350, Type='ABC'}

This is the unit test case

@Test
public void getCustomerById_Test(){
    Dishes test1 = repo.getById(1);
    assertEquals(ExpectedObject,ActualObject);
}

Answer

JUnit method assertEquals simply uses equals method of your class to compare the objects – you have to implement the method properly for the assertion to work correctly. You can read more about implementing equals in multiple online sources, for example here.

If you don’t want to implement equals in the verified class, you can also use assertEquals to compare object fields you’re interested in, like so:

assertEquals(7, actual.getSomeValue());
assertEquals("abcd", actual.getOtherValue());

If you added the AssertJ library, you could use it’s usingRecursiveComparison method – for details refer to the documentation.
