MatchHash

Easily handle Hash in RSpec.

RSpec

match_hash defines one new RSpec matcher:

• match_hash

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile :

gem 'match_hash'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install match_hash

Usage

The new matcher could be used in RSpec as follows:

describe MatchHash do
  let(:expected) do
    {
      a11:11,
      a12:12,
      a13:13,
      a14:{
          b11:11,
          b12:12
      },
      a15:[1,2,3],
      a16:16,
      a17: [{b13: 13}]
    }
  end

  let(:actual) do
    {
      a11:11,
      a12:12,
      a13:13,
      a14:{
          b11:11,
          b12:12
      },
      a15:[3,2,1],
      a16:16,
      a17: [{b13: 14}]
    }
  end

  it "has a version number" do
    expect(MatchHash::VERSION).not_to be nil
  end

  it "expected hash match expected hash" do
    expect(expected).to match_hash(expected)
  end

  it "expected hash do not match actual hash and occured raise_error" do
    expect do
      expect(expected).to match_hash(actual)
    end.to raise_error(RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError)
  end
end

Failure message

For example:

Failures:
