Since

• 2.5.0

#matches?(actual) => Boolean

Performs a deep comparison between the actual object and the expected object. The type of comparison depends on the type of the expected object:

• If the expected object is an RSpec matcher, the #matches? method on the matcher is called with the expected object.
• If the expected object is an Array, then each item is compared based on the type of the expected item.
• If the expected object is a Hash, then the keys must match and each value is compared based on the type of the expected value.
• Otherwise, the two objects are compared using an equality comparison.

Parameters

• actual (Object) — the object to check.

Returns

• (Boolean) — true if the actual object matches the expectation, otherwise false.

Since

• 2.5.0
