Assert

Two simple functions for soft unit test assertions in Go.

Yes, the Go FAQ states the following:

[..] testing frameworks tend to develop into mini-languages of their own, with conditionals and controls and printing mechanisms, but Go already has all those capabilities; why recreate them? We'd rather write tests in Go; it's one fewer language to learn and the approach keeps the tests straightforward and easy to understand.

But unit tests should be clean too, right? :)

Both Assertions are soft assertions. Failing tests will only be reported to the console via t.Errorf().

Assert equal

var paul = Person{
	name: "Paul",
	age:  32}

func TestEqual(t *testing.T) {
	assert.Equal(t, paul, paul, "Paul equals paul")
}

Assert not equal

var paul = Person{
	name: "Paul",
	age:  32}

var peter = Person{
	name: "Peter",
	age:  21}

func TestNotEqual(t *testing.T) {
	assert.NotEqual(t, paul, peter, "Paul does not equal peter")
