Hi,

I just made a new release of fluent-asserts:

http://fluentasserts.szabobogdan.com/
https://code.dlang.org/packages/fluent-asserts

Since my last announcement I improved the library with:
  - better error messages
  - better exception api
  - integration with ranges
  - new asserts `executionTime` for callable and `containsOnly` 
for ranges
  - a new `Assert` utility for those who don't like the BDD style 
of writing asserts

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,
Bogdan

Thanks Bogdan,
I am using your lib regularly and especially appreciate the much 
better printing especially the actual value vs. expected.

Cheers,
Stephan

Cool!

I just tried it and it is really magic how good unittests can be, 
I love it showing the source code where it went wrong, I guess 
that might be a security risk but if anyone uses asserts in a 
production environment and it's leaking passwords it's their 
fault anyway. I am not really a fan of the a.should.be(b) thing 
but I like the Assert.equals() function, just looks more natural 
and easier to read to me + it is understandable by people who 
can't speak english better.

Yes, a lot of programming languages have such assert libraries... 
and they are so helpful

If you are referring to the the fact that the source code is 
displayed, it should be ok, since if the files are not found near 
the test build, the code will not be displayed. Anyway... it 
might be a good idea to allow the library on the release build 
only if you provide a certain flag. Failing the release build if 
the library is included it might be useful since there is no 
reason to link it with the production code.

I thought that not anyone likes the BDD approach so I added 
`Assert`... I think it's good to have options

Great job with this! I absolutely love it. It's made my tests 
less ugly that's for sure. Why this kind of library isn't already 
a part of D is beyond me.

Hi,  if you're just looking for other ideas, you might want to 
look at adding capabilities like in the java hamcrest matchers.  
You might also want to support regular expression matches in the 
string matchers.

http://hamcrest.org/JavaHamcrest/javadoc/1.3/org/hamcrest/Matchers.html

These were used in swtbot, which made a very nice testing 
environment for their swt gui widgets.  Swtbot added filtering 
for the context of the match as well.  You can get a feel for it 
in this article.  There is a DWT library translated from java 
swt, but this testing app wasn't ported.

This is great. It makes writing unit tests much less tedious.
