This implements the
assertArrayIsEqualToArrayIgnoringListOfKeys()
andassertArrayIsIdenticalToArrayIgnoringListOfKeys()
assertions that compare two arrays while ignoring a list of keys. This is useful when the arrays that are to be compared contain date/time-dependent or random information.This also implements the
assertArrayIsEqualToArrayOnlyConsideringListOfKeys()
andassertArrayIsEqualToArrayOnlyConsideringListOfKeys()
assertions that assert that two arrays are equal (or identical, respectively) while only considering a list of keys. This is useful when there are more keys to be ignored (see above) than to actually be considered for the comparison.I am reluctant to add new assertions, but the use cases they address have been brought up a couple of times recently, so maybe they should be added.
