Pascal Schumacher updated GROOVY-4520:
--------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 2.x)
> Groovy power assert is confusing if no types are displayed
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-4520
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-4520
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: groovy-runtime
> Affects Versions: 1.7.5
> Reporter: Evgeny Goldin
>
> In the following code
> {code}
> def j = "5"
> assert 5 == j
> Assertion failed:
> assert 5 == j
> | |
> | 5
> false
> {code}
> it is confusing to understand why assert fails if no types are displayed.
> Variables compared may be different but their toString() representations used
> by assert error message may be identical.
> Another example I had was:
> {code}
> assert pomSize == project.properties.pomSize
> | | | | |
> 2607 | | | 2607
> | | [pomSize:2607, gmavenVersion:1.3]
> | MavenProject: com.goldin:groovymag.listing-1:12.2010 @
> E:\Projects\GroovyMag\December-2010\Listing-1\pom.xml
> false
> {code}
> Here I had a number *{{2607}}* on the left, but a String *{{"2607"}}* on the
> right.
> I suggest to add types of variables compared in assert.
