Subject:	The test description of eq_or_diff is lost, when using Test::Differences::Color
Date:	Fri, 26 Apr 2013 14:24:25 +0100

From:	Pierre M <piemas25 [...] gmail.com>

simple example: eq_or_diff('same text', 'same text', 'test description'); outputs 'ok - test description' when i DON'T use Test::Differences::Color while it outputs L90: my return = Test::Differences::eq_or_diff($data1, $data2) when i DO use Text::Difference::Color it's really a shame, i loved this module as soon as a started using it (thank you!), but soon realized that i couldn't get any test description with it, which makes it impossible for me to use it. I must say, i don't understand the code of Test::Differences::Color, so i cannot submit a patch. Sorry about that.

HI Pierre, Thank you for using this module! I tried the case you provided but can't reproduce the problem. (https://gist.github.com/alecchen/5467467) But I noticed there's a '$' missing in the error output: my return = Test::Differences::eq_or_diff($data1, $data2) should be my $return = Test::Differences::eq_or_diff($data1, $data2) I guess that should be the root cause. To fix the problem, you could simply add the missing dollar sign manually or just reinstall this module. Alec

Hi Alec, I've narrowed it down to a much simpler case now: use Test::More; use Test::Differences; use Test::Differences::Color; eq_or_diff([1], [1], 'test description'); outputs: ok 1 While if i don't use Test::Differences::Color, then i get: ok 1 - test description -------------------------------------------- You're right, i forgot a $ when copying the output. This was the output error i got when i was using Test::Pretty. Without Test::Pretty, i just don't get any test description in the output. Thanks for answering so fast :-)

Hi, I found the problem is that I forgot to passing all arguments to Test::Differences. It was fixed in v0.06. Thanks for your feedback! Alec

Fixed indeed ! Amazing reactivity, thanks a lot Alec :-) It's really nice to have these helpful colors. Saves me quite a bit of eye strain and stress, not having to look for the little stars. Sorry i didn't find the solution myself. Test::Pretty's strange output confused me, i didn't even know where to start looking.
