Method Expect

Expect(LogType, string)

Verifies that a log message of a specified type appears in the log. A test won't fail from an expected error, assertion, or exception log message. It does fail if an expected message does not appear in the log. If multiple LogAssert.Expect are used to expect multiple messages, they are expected to be logged in that order.

Declaration

public static void Expect(LogType type, string message)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
LogType	type	A type of log to expect. It can take one of the LogType enum values.
string	message	A string value that should equate to the expected message.

Examples

[Test]
public void LogAssertExample()
{
    // Expect a regular log message
    LogAssert.Expect(LogType.Log, "Log message");

    // The test fails without the following expected log message
    Debug.Log("Log message");

    // An error log
    Debug.LogError("Error message");

    // Without expecting an error log, the test would fail
    LogAssert.Expect(LogType.Error, "Error message");
}
