public static method AreEqual(expected: Object, actual: Object, message: string): void;
public static void AreEqual(Object expected, Object actual, string message);
public static method AreEqual(expected: T, actual: T): void;
public static void AreEqual(T expected, T actual);
public static method AreEqual(expected: T, actual: T, message: string): void;
public static void AreEqual(T expected, T actual, string message);
public static method AreEqual(expected: T, actual: T, message: string, comparer: IEqualityComparer<T>): void;
public static void AreEqual(T expected, T actual, string message, IEqualityComparer<T> comparer);

Parameters

expectedThe assumed Assert value.
actualThe exact Assert value.
messageThe string used to describe the Assert.
comparerMethod to compare expected and actual arguments have the same value.

Description

Assert that the values are equal.

Show message when the expected and actual are not equal. If no comparer is specified, EqualityComparer<T>.Default is used.

public class AssertionExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { void Update() { // Make sure the Game Object is always tagged as "Player" Assert.AreEqual("Player", gameObject.tag); } }

Another example:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Assertions;

// Assert.AreEqual and Assert.AreNotEqual example // // Compare 32 to 32. AreNotEqual prints message. // Compare 32 to 33. AreEqual prints message.

public class Example : MonoBehaviour { void Start() { int expectedInt = 32; int actualInt = 32;

// Do not show message (32 is equal to 32). Assert.AreEqual(expectedInt, actualInt, "AreEqual: " + expectedInt + " equals " + actualInt);

// Show message (32 is equal to 32). Assert.AreNotEqual(expectedInt, actualInt, "AreNotEqual: " + expectedInt + " not equal to " + actualInt);

actualInt = 33;

// Show message (32 is not equal to 33). Assert.AreEqual(expectedInt, actualInt, "AreEqual: " + expectedInt + " equals " + actualInt);

// Do not show message (32 is not equal to 33). Assert.AreNotEqual(expectedInt, actualInt, "AreNotEqual: " + expectedInt + " not equal to " + actualInt); } }

// Assertion.Assert.AreEqual example // // Compare Vector2Int Assert using IEqualityComparer.

public class Example : MonoBehaviour { // Implement the EqualityComparer class. class EqualityComparer : IEqualityComparer<Vector2Int> { // Compare two Vector2Int structures. // These represent the expected and actual values. public bool Equals(Vector2Int v1, Vector2Int v2) { if ((v1.x == v2.x) && (v1.y == v2.y)) { return true; } else { return false; } }

void Start() { // Creates three Vector2Int structures. v1 and v3 have equal values. Vector2Int v1 = new Vector2Int(1, 2); Vector2Int v2 = new Vector2Int(2, 1); Vector2Int v3 = new Vector2Int(1, 2);

// Display missing matches between the three Vector2Int structures. EqualityComparer comparer = new EqualityComparer();
