object diffs about mocha HOT 4 CLOSED

leave this up to the assertion lib

from mocha.

I would like to hook up NV/objectDiff.js to mocha. How can I do it? It isn't clear at all.

In Jasmine I used to do the following for a browser reporter:

beforeEach(function() {
    this.addMatchers({
        toEqualOwnProperties: function(expected) {
            var diff = objectDiff.diffOwnProperties(expected, this.actual);
            this.message = function() {
                var pre = document.createElement('pre');
                pre.innerHTML = objectDiff.convertToXMLString(diff);
                return [pre];
            };
            return diff.changed === 'equal';
        }
    });
});

from mocha.

mocha doesn't ship with an assertion lib so it's really up to you/that lib. I do want to support a couple "special" properties on the error objects to make specialized formatting easier

from mocha.

Yeah, would be nice to have one for HTML and one for a shell.
