Module: MiniTest::Assertions

Included in:
Unit::TestCase
Defined in:
lib/minitest/unit.rb

Overview

#assert_equal(exp, act, msg = nil) ⇒ Object

Fails unless exp == act printing the difference between the two, if possible.

If there is no visible difference but the assertion fails, you should suspect that your #== is buggy, or your inspect output is missing crucial details.

For floats use assert_in_delta.

#diff(exp, act) ⇒ Object
