Variable Comparer

Custom activity for comparing variables to be used with UiPath Testing Framework

This assembly consists of three core parts:

* It contains custom **Assert Unit Test** activity that must be used when making **Unit Tests**.

* **Assert Unit Test** activity is used as a container for writing **Assert methods** (imported from _CustomActivities.VariableComparer_ namespace) which are used to evaluate unit test outputs.

* Assert.AreEqual(expected,actual) - contains method overloads that are used to check if the compared variables contain the exact same values.

* Assert.AreNotEqual(expected,actual) - contains method overloads that are used to check if the compared variables doesn't contain the exact same values.

* Assert.AreSame(expected,actual) - contains method overloads that are used to check if the compared variables reference the same object in memory.

* Assert.AreNotSame(expected,actual) - contains method overloads that are used to check if the compared variables doesn't reference the same object in memory.

* Assert.Contains(item, target) - contains method overloads that are used to check if the item is contained inside of the target object.

* Assert.NotContains(expected,actual) - contains method overloads that are used to check if the item is not contained inside of the target object.

* Assert.IsNull(actual) - checks if variable is referencing null object

* Assert.IsNotNull(actual) - checks if variable is not referencing null object

* **Assert methods** throw custom exceptions that are used by the **Framework** to log test results and give important information in case of a test failiure.

* AssertException is main exception thrown by Assert methods.

* AssertNullException is exception thrown when Assert.IsNull or Assert.IsNotNull method returns false.

* CustomAssertException is generic exception that is thrown when random boolean expression that returns false is passed to Assert Unit Test activity

Quick guide:

* Install this package using [Package manager]

* [Import] _CustomActivities.VariableComparer_ namespace in your workflow

* In Activities side-bar search for Assert Unit Test activity

* Use Assert Unit Test activity to write any of the above Assert methods (e.g. Assert.AreEqual(var1,var2))

Compares objects (which are by default compared by reference equality) using value equality.
