testing.assertEquals() function
testing.assertEquals() tests whether two streams of tables are identical.
If equal, the function outputs the tested data stream unchanged. If unequal, the function returns an error.
assertEquals can be used to perform in-line tests in a query.
Function type signature
(<-got: stream[A], name: string, want: stream[A]) => stream[A]
For more information, see Function type signatures.
Parameters
name
(Required) Unique assertion name.

want
(Required) Expected data to test against.
Examples
Test if streams of tables are different
import "sampledata"
import "testing"
want = sampledata.int()
got = sampledata.float() |> toInt()
testing.assertEquals(name: "test_equality", got: got, want: want)
Test if streams of tables are different mid-script
import "testing"
want =
from(bucket: "backup-example-bucket")
|> range(start: -5m)
from(bucket: "example-bucket")
|> range(start: -5m)
|> testing.assertEquals(want: want)
