Simone Tripodi created OLTU-164: ----------------------------------- Summary: JSON comparison in test case best practice Key: OLTU-164 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OLTU-164 Project: Apache Oltu Issue Type: Test Reporter: Simone Tripodi Priority: Critical
there are a couple of tests in the oauth-2.0/common codebase failing on CLI, but succeed in Eclipse, see below for details... {noformat} OAuthResponseTest.testErrorResponse:47 expected:<{"[error_uri":"http://example-uri","error":"error","param":"value","realm":"album","state":"ok","error_description":"error_description]"}> but was:<{"[param":"value","error_description":"error_description","realm":"album","state":"ok","error":"error","error_uri":"http://example-uri]"}> {noformat} I honestly think that comparing serialised JSON strings is not the best way to assert two JSON documents are representing exactly the same data, we need to handle that situation... The [jsonassert|http://jsonassert.skyscreamer.org/] library looks like to be the good choice to assert two json object represent exactly the same data. If there are no objections, I would use {{jsonassert}} in all tests handling JSON data representation... Thoughts? TIA! :) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
