issues comparing tables because of ordering

[mathieujobin]

I am testing lua tables and decoded json output for REST APIs
and my tests keep failing because of table ordering. especially those without keys (AKA arrays)

I tried .same and .equals and I am getting same behavior
is there a better assertion function I could use ?

even, sometimes, the tables looks exactly the same...

Passed in:

(table) {

  [1] = 'dev'

  [2] = 'test' }

Expected:

(table) {

  [1] = 'dev'

  [2] = 'test' }

thanks

Can you give some example code reproducing this behaviour?

You should be using .same here. .equals compares the table reference.

thanks, I'll see if I can write a tests that reproduce this
