Thibault Kruse created GROOVY-7569: -------------------------------------- Summary: PowerAsserts should print results more verbosely and safer Key: GROOVY-7569 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7569 Project: Groovy Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Thibault Kruse
The output of buffer evaluation results in PowerAsserts hides a lot of useful information from the user. This is similar to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7568, but independent. Discussed here: http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Should-PowerAsserts-be-more-verbose-td5727255.html https://groups.google.com/d/msg/spockframework/XbR-McgaAss/-wtkD1X1BAAJ In particular Strings are printed without surrounding hyphens, collections are printed without telling whether they are Lists, Maps, Sets, or Ranges. Ranges are printed fully as lists (which can be unnecessarily long). An implementation is almost done at https://github.com/tkruse/incubator-groovy/tree/pretty The downside or more information is that this output could be regarded as "too noisy". -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
