I am finding some snippets about reflect ,I tried

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "reflect"
)

func main() {
    fmt.Println(reflect.ValueOf(1) == reflect.ValueOf(1))
}

it shows "FALSE",
reflect.Value underlying structure is pointer,even they get same value,it points to different address.

@ggaaooppeenngg We know that, that's why objectsAreEqual function tries many different ways to check if the two parameters supplied return true.

If you run the following code it will print "Are Equal".

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/franela/goblin"
)

func main() {
    g := goblin.G{}
    g.Assert(1).Equal(1)
    fmt.Println("Are Equal")
}

@marcosnils I think that line is a redundant.

@ggaaooppeenngg you're right. Thanks for the catch. I'll remove that line.
