I was reading a todoapp from Android architectural blueprints when I came across these two tests. I cant seem to understand that why is it necessary to use doesNotExist() in createTwoTasks_deleteOneTask(), to check that an item with the specified title is deleted, when it is totally okay to use not(isDisplayed()) in createOneTask_deleteTask() for checking the same thing?
@Test
public void createOneTask_deleteTask() {
viewAllTasks();
// Add active task
createTask(TITLE1, DESCRIPTION);
// Open it in details view
onView(withText(TITLE1)).perform(click());
// Click delete task in menu
onView(withId(R.id.menu_delete)).perform(click());
// Verify it was deleted
viewAllTasks();
onView(withText(TITLE1)).check(matches(not(isDisplayed())));
}
@Test
public void createTwoTasks_deleteOneTask() {
// Add 2 active tasks
createTask(TITLE1, DESCRIPTION);
createTask(TITLE2, DESCRIPTION);
// Open the second task in details view
onView(withText(TITLE2)).perform(click());
// Click delete task in menu
onView(withId(R.id.menu_delete)).perform(click());
// Verify only one task was deleted
viewAllTasks();
onView(withText(TITLE1)).check(matches(isDisplayed()));
onView(withText(TITLE2)).check(doesNotExist());
}
I am new in Espresso testing but I know that usually doesNotExist() is called to confirm that a view is Gone but then why not(isDisplayed()) is working fine even when the view has been removed? I tried to use doesNotExist() but it throws a error.
