Fluent assertions for testing XMLs. Easy comparison of XML trees with informative messages, helping you to find the problem easily.

Run your XML assertions easily, the fluent way:

@"<person name = ""Piotr"" />".XmlShould().HaveAttribute("name");
@"<person name = ""Piotr"" />".XmlShould().HaveAttribute("name", "Piotr");
@"<person name = ""Piotr"" />".XmlShould().BeEqualTo(expected);

Thanks to informative exception messages, you'll be able to easily find the causes of your problems:

Node //people[0]/person[1]/documents[2]/document[1]; Attributes collection does not match expected state, redundant attributes found: [valid-from]lacking attributes: [number]

Node //people[0]/person[1]/documents[2]/document[1]; Expected attribute [number] with value [10], but found [55]

Node //people[0]/person[1]/documents[2]/document[0]/authority[0]/name[0]/#text[0]; Expected text [Urząd gminy w Terespolu], but found [Urząd gminy w Kalinowie]

Current assertions is right now in IXmlAssertable interface:

    public interface IXmlAssertable
    {
        void BeEqualTo(string expected);
        void BeEqualTo(XmlNode expected);
        void HaveAttribute(string attributeName);
        void HaveAttribute(string attributeName, string attributeValue);
        void HaveName(string expectedName);
        void BeEqualShallowTo(XmlNode expected);
    }
