I have a problem. I have a test that needs to assert that one XML document
looks exactly like another XML document.
I couldn't find a way to compare them as Nokogiri::XML::Documents, so I
converted them both to strings with #to_xml and compared the strings.
Trouble is, sometimes the attributes one of the nodes are rendered into the
string in a different order to the other one, so you get an error of the form:
Diff:
@@ -5,7 +5,7 @@
<Description/>
<Context>
<BackgroundLabels>
- <Label mode="FILTER" name="included"/>
+ <Label name="included" mode="FILTER"/>
</BackgroundLabels>
</Context>
<LookAndFeel nonprofit="false"/>
(RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError)
Most annoying.
I've seen a couple of RSpec matchers in blog posts that walk and compare XML
fragments but I'm surprised there isn't something more concrete that already
exists. I feel like I'm missing a way to do it within an XML library, for
example.
Any clues out there?
cheers,
Matt
