AssertEquals dosen't work

Question

I have a problem with AssertEquals in JUnit because i try to compare two istance of objects , i get this error :

java.lang.AssertionError: expected: com.euris.Price<Price [1p 19s 2d -2a]> but was: com.euris.Price<Price [1p 19s 2d -2a]>
at org.junit.Assert.fail(Assert.java:88)
at org.junit.Assert.failNotEquals(Assert.java:834)
at org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:118)
at org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:144)
at com.euris.exercise.ExerciseApplicationTests.contextLoads(ExerciseApplicationTests.java:31)
mework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.run(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.java:190)

Can anyone help me ?

Show the code for `com.euris.Price`. This depends more on the class being compared than on JUnit — ernest_k, Apr 25 '18 at 07:13
`AssertEquals` has been used by a lot of people. Any bugs have likely been found and fixed ages ago. If it doesn't seem to work, you should question your own code before you question the JUnit code. — Andreas, Apr 25 '18 at 07:19
To reinforce @Andreas' point, `assertEquals` is covered by tests. If it didn't work, it would be known. — Andy Turner, Apr 25 '18 at 07:22
@AndyTurner Yeah, what a novel concept: The JUnit code is itself unit tested. Who'd have thought. — Andreas, Apr 25 '18 at 07:23

I think the problem here is Price is a custom Object you have to override equals method for AssertEquals to work . I hope this link helps.

You think? I mean, it's a good guess, but a guess nonetheless. Ask for clarification in a comment, once you have the [50 rep needed for that](https://stackoverflow.com/help/privileges/comment). – Andreas Apr 25 '18 at 07:22
I override equals method and it works thanks – user2462353 Apr 25 '18 at 07:37
@Andreas: Thanks for valuable input. – Gagan Chouhan May 07 '18 at 12:38
