assert: show proper differences
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Right now it is possible to get an AssertionError from input that has
the customInspect function set to always return the same value.

That way the error message is actually misleading because the output
is going to look the same. This fixes it by deactivating the custom
inspect function.
