Assent is a simple assertion library for long strings. By default it uses common diff tools to report on and resolve test failures.

It is test framework agnostic and works with .NET Framework 4.5, NET Standard 1.3 and .NET Core 1.0.

Installation

Install the package from nuget by adding Assent to your project.json dependencies or running install-package Assent from the NuGet tool window.

Getting Started

In your test, do your usual setup and execution, but replace your assert line with:

this.Assent("String To Assert")

To customise the behaviour:

this.Assent("String To Assert")

var configuration = new Configuration() .UsingExtension(".json")

this.Assent("String To Assert", configuration)

You can use your favourite assertion library, see the [Comparer](#Comparer) page for details.
