Improve Should-BeString to show string diff with arrow marker#2731
Merged
Conversation
When strings differ, show the difference index, expanded special characters (e.g. \n, \r, \t), and an arrow pointing to the first difference — matching the style of Should -Be. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Verify arrow position precisely using Verify-Equal with here-strings instead of Verify-Like wildcards. Add test for mid-string difference showing dashes before the arrow marker. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Use explicit LF in Get-StringDifferenceMessage and normalize expected values in tests with -replace to match on all platforms. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
