XUnit Assertion for checking equality of objects

Question

I am using XUnit framework to test my C# code.

Is there any assert method available in this framework which does the object comparison? My intention is to check for equa

Answer 1

There are NuGet packages that do this for you. Here are two examples that I personally use.

1. DeepEqual:

   object1.ShouldDeepEqual(object2);
   

2. ExpectedObjects:

   [Fact]
   public void RetrievingACustomer_ShouldReturnTheExpectedCustomer()
   {
     // Arrange
     var expectedCustomer = new Customer
     {
       FirstName = "Silence",
       LastName = "Dogood",
       Address = new Address
       {
         AddressLineOne = "The New-England Courant",
         AddressLineTwo = "3 Queen Street",
         City = "Boston",
         State = "MA",
         PostalCode = "02114"
       }                                            
     }.ToExpectedObject();
   
   
     // Act
     var actualCustomer = new CustomerService().GetCustomerByName("Silence", "Dogood");
   
     // Assert
     expectedCustomer.ShouldEqual(actualCustomer);
   }
