The formatting of the variables might have that effect (I'll have to
look at why the comparison logic seeing them as different, but the
output format logic does not). If you think that is the case, you
could handle it a few different ways.
1) Use number format (boolean values can also be bit... 0/1):
<cfset assertEquals("message", NumberFormat( var1 ), NumberFormat(
var2 ) ) />
2) Use yes/no format:
<cfset assertEquals("message", YesNoFormat( var1 ), YesNoFormat( var2 ) ) />
3) Use assertEqualsBoolean form the extended TestCase class like you
are doing, just make sure to extend TestCaseExtra, not just TestCase
Or your fourth option - and I think this is probably what you will want to do:
4) use assertTrue:
<cfset assertEquals("message", var1 ) />
For example if you wanted to test that the "isSomthing()" method returns true:
<cfset assertTrue("Is somthing returned false", myCFC.isSomthing() ) />
Or if it should return false:
<cfset assertFalse("Is somthing returned true", myCFC.isSomthing() ) />
Hope that helps
