[Asunit-users] assertEquals and non primitive data

[erixtekila <eri...@if...>]

Hi,


I was looking in assertEquals implementaion and discovered that in fact 
assertEquals works the same way that assertSame.
I think it's not the desired behaviour.

In my opinion,
When talking of object reference, assertSame should passes when obj1 
=== obj2.
It's a reference test.
Nevertheless, assertEquals should test contents, not reference in 
memory.
That way, assertEquals(obj1 , obj2) should passes only if all 
properties of obj1 has the same value than obj2.

Unfortunaly, we don't get a native clone method in AS2, but the test 
should passes only if :
obj2=clone(obj1);
assertEquals(obj1, obj2);

So we could use a recursive for-in check to validate this method 
correctly if test is made on object datatype.

I think it should be the expected behaviour.


Tell me what you think.


Cheers
