/*
Package assert provides assertions for comparing expected values to actual
values in tests. When an assertion fails a helpful error message is printed.

# Example usage

All the assertions in this package use [testing.T.Helper] to mark themselves as
test helpers. This allows the testing package to print the filename and line
number of the file function that failed.

	assert.NilError(t, err)
	// filename_test.go:212: assertion failed: error is not nil: file not found

If any assertion is called from a helper function, make sure to call t.Helper
from the helper function so that the filename and line number remain correct.

The examples below show assert used with some common types and the failure
messages it produces. The filename and line number portion of the failure
message is omitted from these examples for brevity.

	// booleans

	assert.Assert(t, ok)
	// assertion failed: ok is false
	assert.Assert(t, !missing)
	// assertion failed: missing is true

	// primitives

	assert.Equal(t, count, 1)
	// assertion failed: 0 (count int) != 1 (int)
	assert.Equal(t, msg, "the message")
	// assertion failed: my message (msg string) != the message (string)
	assert.Assert(t, total != 10) // use Assert for NotEqual
	// assertion failed: total is 10
	assert.Assert(t, count > 20, "count=%v", count)
	// assertion failed: count is <= 20: count=1

	// errors

	assert.NilError(t, closer.Close())
	// assertion failed: error is not nil: close /file: errno 11
	assert.Error(t, err, "the exact error message")
	// assertion failed: expected error "the exact error message", got "oops"
	assert.ErrorContains(t, err, "includes this")
	// assertion failed: expected error to contain "includes this", got "oops"
	assert.ErrorIs(t, err, os.ErrNotExist)
	// assertion failed: error is "oops", not "file does not exist" (os.ErrNotExist)

	// complex types

	assert.DeepEqual(t, result, myStruct{Name: "title"})
	// assertion failed: ... (diff of the two structs)
	assert.Assert(t, is.Len(items, 3))
	// assertion failed: expected [] (length 0) to have length 3
	assert.Assert(t, len(sequence) != 0) // use Assert for NotEmpty
	// assertion failed: len(sequence) is 0
	assert.Assert(t, is.Contains(mapping, "key"))
	// assertion failed: map[other:1] does not contain key

	// pointers and interface

	assert.Assert(t, ref == nil)
	// assertion failed: ref is not nil
	assert.Assert(t, ref != nil) // use Assert for NotNil
	// assertion failed: ref is nil

# Assert and Check

[Assert] and [Check] are very similar, they both accept a [cmp.Comparison], and fail
the test when the comparison fails. The one difference is that Assert uses
[testing.T.FailNow] to fail the test, which will end the test execution immediately.
Check uses [testing.T.Fail] to fail the test, which allows it to return the
result of the comparison, then proceed with the rest of the test case.

Like [testing.T.FailNow], [Assert] must be called from the goroutine running the test,
not from other goroutines created during the test. [Check] is safe to use from any
goroutine.

# Comparisons

Package [gotest.tools/v3/assert/cmp] provides
many common comparisons. Additional comparisons can be written to compare
values in other ways. See the example Assert (CustomComparison).

# Automated migration from testify

gty-migrate-from-testify is a command which translates Go source code from
testify assertions to the assertions provided by this package.
