func AssertEqualDir ¶

func AssertEqualDir(t testing.TB, expected, actual string)

AssertEqualDir compares expected an actual directories (and their subdirectories).

It will fail with t in case a file is missing in actual, a file is present in actual but not in expected or if the content of any file in actual is not the same as its peer in expected.

func AssertEqualFile ¶

func AssertEqualFile(t testing.TB, expected, actual string)

AssertEqualFile compares expected and actual files.

It will fail with t if one of the file cannot be read or if their content is not identical.

func Diff ¶

func Diff(oldName string, old []byte, newName string, new []byte) []byte

Diff returns an anchored diff of the two texts old and new in the “unified diff” format. If old and new are identical, Diff returns a nil slice (no output).

Unix diff implementations typically look for a diff with the smallest number of lines inserted and removed, which can in the worst case take time quadratic in the number of lines in the texts. As a result, many implementations either can be made to run for a long time or cut off the search after a predetermined amount of work.

In contrast, this implementation looks for a diff with the smallest number of “unique” lines inserted and removed, where unique means a line that appears just once in both old and new. We call this an “anchored diff” because the unique lines anchor the chosen matching regions. An anchored diff is usually clearer than a standard diff, because the algorithm does not try to reuse unrelated blank lines or closing braces. The algorithm also guarantees to run in O(n log n) time instead of the standard O(n²) time.

Some systems call this approach a “patience diff,” named for the “patience sorting” algorithm, itself named for a solitaire card game. We avoid that name for two reasons. First, the name has been used for a few different variants of the algorithm, so it is imprecise. Second, the name is frequently interpreted as meaning that you have to wait longer (to be patient) for the diff, meaning that it is a slower algorithm, when in fact the algorithm is faster than the standard one.

func FilterCarriage ¶

func FilterCarriage(bytes []byte) []byte

FilterCarriage returns the input slice of bytes with \r character.
