Comparing two lists with MSpec

Question

Which method should I use to assert that two lists contains the same objects with MSpec?

Answer 1

You could use the ShouldContainOnly(IEnumerable<T>) extension method.

So if you have 2 lists, listA and listB use:

listA.ShouldContainOnly(listB)

Answer 2

If the order of the items in the list doesn't matter, you would use

listA.ShouldContainOnly(listB); // both lists must have exactly the same items
listA.ShouldContain(listB);     // listA must at least contain the items of listB

If the order of the items matters, you can use

listA.ShouldEqual(listB);
