org.hamcrest.Matcher's method equalTo() returning value like this <<value>>

I am working on spring 5.0.7 project where I have some testcases which are getting fails which was working fine with previous version of spring.

when I am executing following statement

assertEquals("My message",401, equalTo(401));


getting following error message

There is additional <> comes in result. Can anyone has idea how can I fix it?

For more details earlier I was using assertThat()

assertThat(401, equalTo(401));


and this was working fine.

assertEquals

I revert back to assertThat() and that is working fine.

if you are a bit confused with hamcrest, you can give a try to AssertJ whose assertions are easy to discover with code completion.

assertThat(401).isEqualTo(401);
^
use code completion


equalTo returns a Matcher object which is not equal to an integer value, hence the AssertionError. <401> is just a string representation of a matcher.

equalTo

Matcher

AssertionError

<401>

With assertEquals, you're expected to pass the expected value directly, without a matcher:

assertEquals

assertEquals("My message", 401, 401);


Note that the first argument is the expected value.
