Supported methods

• should.BeEqual(t, element, element) -> check if two elements are equal
• should.NotBeEqual(t,element, element) -> check if two elements are not equal
• should.BeNil(t,element) -> check if an element it nil
• should.NotBeNilt,(element) -> check if an element is not nil
• should.BeTrue(t,element) -> check if an element is true
• should.BeFalse(t,element) -> check if an element is false
• should.HaveLength(t,collection, length) -> (only for array/slice/map) check the length of the collection
• should.Contain(t,collection, element) -> (only for array/slice/map/string) check if the collection contains the element
• should.NotContain(t,collection, element) -> (only for array/slice/map) check if the collection contains not the element
• should.BeSimilar(t,collection, collection) -> (only for array/slice) check if the two collections contains the same elements
• should.NotBeSimilar(t,collection, collection) -> (only for array/slice) check if the two collections contains at least one different element
• should.Fail -> stops the tests with the given error message

same for must.

Usage

Please look into the test files to see the possibilities. For the first look here some examples:

	should.BeEqual(t, 1, 1, "should be equal")
	should.BeNil(t, nil)
	should.NotBeNil(t, 1)
	should.BeTrue(t, true)
	should.BeFalse(t, false)
	should.NotBeEqual(t, 1, 2)
	should.NotBeEqual(t, 1.0, 1)
	should.NotBeEqual(t, int64(1), int32(1))
}
