Better way to identify what's different between 2 instances.
Have you ever written tests?
Usually they use equality asserts, e.g. XCTAssertEqual, what happens if the objects aren't equal? Xcode throws a wall of text at you:
This forces you to manually scan the text and try to figure out exactly whats wrong, what if instead you could just learn which property is different?
Add pod 'Difference' to your Podfile.
Add github "krzysztofzablocki/Difference" to your Cartfile.
Just write the following to see the difference between 2 instances:
po dumpDiff(expected, received)
Just add this to your test target:
public func AssertEqual<T: Equatable>(_ expected: T, _ received: T, file: StaticString = #file, line: UInt = #line) {
XCTAssertTrue(expected == received, "Found difference for " + diff(expected, received).joined(separator: ", "), file: file, line: line)
}Just add this to your test target:
public func equalDiff<T: Equatable>(_ expectedValue: T?) -> Predicate<T> {
return Predicate.define { actualExpression in
let receivedValue = try actualExpression.evaluate()
if receivedValue == nil {
var message = ExpectationMessage.fail("")
if let expectedValue = expectedValue {
message = ExpectationMessage.expectedCustomValueTo("equal <\(expectedValue)>", "nil")
}
return PredicateResult(status: .fail, message: message)
}
if expectedValue == nil {
return PredicateResult(status: .fail, message: ExpectationMessage.fail("").appendedBeNilHint())
}
return PredicateResult(bool: receivedValue == expectedValue, message: ExpectationMessage.fail("Found difference for " + diff(expectedValue, receivedValue).joined(separator: ", ")))
}
}
