RSpec equality matcher that ignores nested order

EqWoOrder

RSpec equality matcher that deeply compares array without order - arrays of primitives, hashes, and arrays.

As multi-core/multi-threaded concurrent processing becomes more prevalent we will see lists of items being returned in non-deterministic order. The idea behind this gem is that we when we're testing APIs that return objects with these arrays of items, we neither want to care about the order NOR do we want to dig into the data to sort/match specific fields. See spec/features/eq_wo_order_spec.rb for an extensive set of examples showcasing this gem's usage.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'eq_wo_order'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install eq_wo_order

Usage

require 'eq_wo_order'

first = [[1, 2, 3]]
second = [[3, 1, 2]]

expect(first).to eq_wo_order second
