Hi,
I’m trying to make an assertion that an item has recieved yet another timestamp in a list. My current solution is to do a regular match which will fail the test if not working. I obviously find out if my test does not work but it feels rather hacky and not a proper solution.
What I would like to do is something similar to:
assert [{id, [_t1, _t2]}] == updated_thing.list_with_timestamps
But that only works if I specify the _t1 and _t2 which obviously does not work with timestamps…
What is the standard way to test this?

This timestamp is what? A
NaiveDateTime? ADateTime? ADate? AString? And you’re asserting strict equality, not only matching! Please, give a example structureeksperimental
It is really hard to see what you are trying to do here.
Real code examples will help

I see. It was obviously much clearer in my head than for outsiders. They happen to be strings.
I also see that I could skip a lot of things and just give this question instead:
Given that I have a function random_string() that returns a random string of some sort. the variable list will in actual be constructed in some function that I want to test.
This assertion works if I know the exact outcome
but I cannot do this
I can of cause do this
but it feels a bit clumsy
Simply summarized, can I assert the type of the items in the list without first match them out?

assert [<<_::binary>>,<<_:: binary>>] = valueIf you know the results but order is nondeterministic, Enum.sort both sides.
