Module: MiniTest::Assertions

Included in:
Unit::TestCase
Defined in:
lib/minitest/unit.rb

Overview

#assert_equal(exp, act, msg = nil) ⇒ Object

Fails unless exp == act printing the difference between the two, if possible.

If there is no visible difference but the assertion fails, you should suspect that your #== is buggy, or your inspect output is missing crucial details.

For floats use assert_in_delta.

#diff(exp, act) ⇒ Object

Returns a diff between exp and act. If there is no known diff command or if it doesn’t make sense to diff the output (single line, short output), then it simply returns a basic comparison between the two.

This returns a diff-able human-readable version of obj. This differs from the regular mu_pp because it expands escaped newlines and makes hex-values generic (like object_ids). This uses mu_pp to do the first pass and then cleans it up.
