Using assertTrue() to validate the presence of text in selenium

Question

I want to validate the presence of a text using assertTrue(), but I am getting a StackOverflow error. I am not sure that the code I have written is correct or not. Need your suggestions.

// Checking the posted text
WebElement postedtext= driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("css123"));
assertTrue("The text is verfied",postedtext.getText().equals(enteredText));

private static void assertTrue(String string, boolean equals) {
assertTrue(string,equals);}

Answer 1

It is a name conflicting that you happened to name you assert method the same name as the library method. Rename your assertTrue can solve the problem.

// Checking the posted text
WebElement postedtext= driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("css123"));
myAssertTrue("The text is verfied",postedtext.getText().equals(enteredText));

private static void myAssertTrue(String string, boolean equals) {
    try {
        assertTrue(string,equals);
    } catch (AssertionError e) {
        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        throw e;
    }
}

Or you just delete your assertTrue and use the library method instead.
