描述
Currently there is an EqualValues assertion, which seems good for checking structs are the same. But if I want to test the negative case (NotEqualValues), there doesn't seem to be a good method. It would be basically the same as the EqualValues, though just changing the inner check:
From:
func EqualValues(t TestingT, expected, actual interface{}, msgAndArgs ...interface{}) bool {
..snip..
if !ObjectsAreEqualValues(expected, actual) {
..snip..
To:
func NotEqualValues(t TestingT, expected, actual interface{}, msgAndArgs ...interface{}) bool {
..snip..
if ObjectsAreEqualValues(expected, actual) {
..snip..
Perhaps a refactor to share the common code in an unexported method with a flag on the test case would be better too.
I can make my own using ObjectsAreEqual and Condition, but then I don't get the niceness of the diff format in the output, which I can't access to make my own similar (without copying code) as the diff functions aren't exported.
It would also be nice if there was a wrapper function to access the diff features, perhaps something like (based on the error diff code in EqualValues:
func FailNowDiff(t TestingT, expected, actual interface{}, msgAndArgs ...interface{}) bool {
diff := diff(expected, actual)
expected, actual = formatUnequalValues(expected, actual)
return Fail(t, fmt.Sprintf("Not equal: \n"+
"expected: %s\n"+
"actual : %s%s", expected, actual, diff), msgAndArgs...)
}
