Description : Fork of Go stretchr/testify/assert that uses FailNow()
This is a fork of stretchr's assertion library that does two things:
.
1. It makes spotting differences in equality much easier. It uses
github.com/alecthomas/repr and github.com/sergi/go-diff/diffmatchpatch
to display structural differences in colour.
2. Aborts tests on first assertion failure (the same behaviour as
stretchr/testify/require).
Reasoning: Required by golang-github-alecthomas-chroma for hugo:
Hugo 0.28 brings blistering fast and native syntax highlighting
from Chroma. A big thank you to Alec Thomas for taking on this
massive task of porting the popular python highlighter Pygments to Go.
