Crate assert_unordered

A direct replacement for assert_eq for unordered collections

This macro is useful for any situation where the ordering of the collection doesn’t matter, even if they are always in the same order. This is because the stdlib assert_eq shows the entire collection for both left and right and leaves it up to the user to visually scan for differences. In contrast, this crate only works with collections (types that implement IntoIterator) and therefore can show only the differences (see below for an example of what the output looks like).

Example

use assert_unordered::assert_eq_unordered;

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq)]
struct MyType(i32);

let expected = vec![MyType(1), MyType(2), MyType(4), MyType(5)];
let actual = vec![MyType(2), MyType(0), MyType(4)];

assert_eq_unordered!(expected, actual);

Output:

Macros

assert_eq_unordered

Assert that $left and $right are “unordered” equal. That is, they contain the same elements, but not necessarily in the same order. If this assertion is false, a panic is raised, and the elements that are different between $left and $right are shown (when possible).
