Trying to Assert value using selenium webdriver but seems something wrong

What is wrong here :

  assert(Base.getdriver().findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='mainBG']/div[1]/form[1]/div/div[1]/div/span[2]/span/span").getText().contains?("Email address is required"),"Validation message for Email is firing")));

In Eclipse , it is showing bracket missing red line at ("Email address is required")

Test Scenario :

There is login form , I am clicking on submit button without fill any data in email field and just want to verify it's validation alert message which is Email address is required.

I'd use Hamcrest assertions http://hamcrest.org/JavaHamcrest/javadoc/1.3/org/hamcrest/Matchers.html:

assertThat(selenium.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='mainBG']/div[1]/form[1]/div/div[1]/div/span[2]/span/span").getText(), containsString("Email address is required" ,"Validation message for Email is firing"));

Probably you want to store the string to a variable first the print it (then delete this bit of code obviously) just to make sure you are asserting the correct data:

String emailData = selenium.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='mainBG']/div[1]/form[1]/div/div[1]/div/span[2]/span/span")).getText();
System.out.println("Data to be printed" +emailData);

And import:

import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.*;

Try to break it up like this to improve reading (note that I am making up return types)

Element element = Base.getdriver().findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='mainBG']/div[1]/form[1]/div/div[1]/div/span[2]/span/span"));
String elemText = element.getText();
assert elemText.contains("Email address is required") : "Validation message for Email is NOT firing";

Just out of curiosity, what is that question mark after contains ?

EDIT : since it seems that the assert is a native Java assertion, try it like this.
