Difference
Better way to identify whats different between 2 instances.
Have you ever written tests?
Usually they use equality asserts, e.g. XCTAssertEqual, what happens if the object aren't equal ? Xcode throws 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?
Installation
CocoaPods
Add pod 'Difference' to your Podfile.
Carthage
Add github "krzysztofzablocki/Difference" to your Cartfile.
Using lldb
Just write following to see difference between 2 instances:
po dumpDiff(expected, received)
Integrate with XCTest
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)
}Integrate with Quick
Just add this to your test target:
public func equalDiff<T: Equatable>(_ otherObject: T?) -> Predicate<T> {
return Predicate.define { actualExpression in
guard let otherObject = otherObject else {
return PredicateResult(status: .fail, message: ExpectationMessage.fail("").appendedBeNilHint())
}
let object = try actualExpression.evaluate()
return PredicateResult(bool: object != otherObject, message: ExpectationMessage.fail("Found difference for " + diff(object, otherObject).joined(separator: ", ")))
}
}
