Test/unit and pp

Hi,

given the following program:


#!/opt/ruby/1.8/bin/ruby -w

require ‘test/unit’

class FooTester < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup
@foo=Array.new
@foo << [:a,:b,[:c]]
end
def test_foo
assert_instance_of Hash,@foo
end
end


I’d like to have the

" 1) Failure:
test_foo(FooTester) [-:16]:
<[[:a, :b, [:c]]]> expected to be an instance of
but was
."

written a bit shorter, perhaps like this:

" 1) Failure:
test_foo(FooTester) [-:16]:
instance of expected but was ."

because sometimes I have very large objects to compare. I was not
successful by setting use_pp=false, somehow there is no difference
between those two (with and w/o use_pp=false).

you should grab unitdiff from the ZenTest package, available at
http://rubyforge.org/projects/zentest/

it will work wonders on cleaning up large amounts of testing feedback.

does it also clean up the messages? Couldn’t find anything in the docs
about it.

Ahh, I misread your request. No it doesn’t clean up the message.

Yes and no. It show’s a diff of the two items that were suppose to
be equal. This is almost a required feature when working with
assert_tag() in Rails, for example.
