JSONAssert.assertEquals(objActual, jObject, true) is not working as expected

Question

I need to assert two JSON Objects, for that I am using JSONAssert jar.

import org.skyscreamer.jsonassert.JSONAssert;
.
.//some code
.
JSONAssert.assertEquals(obj1, jObject, true);

When the control reaches JSONAssert line, the execution just stops. I am passing 'obj1' a json object from converting a json string and is in form {"a":1} and the second argument is picked from a txt file and is in format {"a":2}.

Assertion error is expected but nothing happens, no error ... nothing.

When trying the jsonAssert jar in a independent java program where json objects are initialised there itself, it works fine.

Any suggestions will be helpful, Thanks!!

Works for me. Can you run a minimum example like `JSONObject obj1 = new JSONObject("{\"a\":1}"); JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject("{\"a\":2}"); JSONAssert.assertEquals(obj1, jObject, true);` — JanTheGun, Apr 21 '15 at 12:10
yeah tried this , seperatly it is working for me too, in my code it is not — user3712016, Apr 21 '15 at 12:14
OK, then you'll have to show us the code which creates obj1 and jObject. The problem must be in there. — JanTheGun, Apr 21 '15 at 12:16
Is there a surrounding try-catch block? Maybe you catch a Throwable and do nothing with it... — JanTheGun, Apr 21 '15 at 12:28
surprisingly, for me it worked when change the strict mode from false to true, it worked, if i set it to false then it throws exception — Tayab Hussain, Apr 24 '19 at 13:21

JSONAssert.assertEquals would throw an AssertionError in the actual JSON doesn't "match" the expected one.

Or, if one of the JSONs can't be parsed, it would throw a JSONException.

One possible problem is that you have some catch (Throwable e) clause which "silences" the assertion error and/or parse exception.
