Comparing Messages with Eq?

[hpux735]

Is there a way to compare instances of the Message type? It's hard to write unit tests to make sure that implementor's code is working as expected without being able to write things like assert_eq!(sample_message, test_message, for example.

Good idea. No, I don't think so at the moment. I guess you could debug print both as a workaround and compare the debug prints.
Patches welcome :-)

Although at second thought, that requires some careful thinking. E g, a message that you received over the bus would have the "sender" and "id" fields filled in. A message you constructed yourself would not have that. That seems problematic for asserting that two messages are equal.

Yah, that makes sense. I tried with PropMap too (which I think is the better option), but I'm just way to new (2 weeks, lol) at Rust to get my head around comparing the dyn RefArg stuff.
