When the code you're testing returns multiple lines, records or
|
||
|
|
data structures and they're just plain wrong, an equivalent to the
|
||
|
|
Unix diff utility may be just what's needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
eq_or_diff_...() compares two strings or (limited) data structures
|
||
|
|
and either emits an ok indication or a side-by-side diff.
|
||
|
|
Test::Differences is designed to be used with Test.pm and with
|
||
|
|
Test::Simple, Test::More, and other Test::Builder based testing
|
||
|
|
modules. As the SYNOPSIS shows, another testing module must be used
|
||
|
|
as the basis for your test suite.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These functions assume that you are presenting it with "flat"
|
||
|
|
records, looking like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- scalars composed of record-per-line
|
||
|
|
- arrays of scalars,
|
||
|
|
- arrays of arrays of scalars,
|
||
|
|
- arrays of hashes containing only scalars
