# Put this in test_helper.rb to compare two arbitrarily nested structures.
# Usage: compare_objects(o1, o2).  Raises an exception if it finds any differences.

  # recursivly compare two objects. raise if a difference was found, return if not.
  def compare_objects(wanted, actual, path=[])
    if wanted.kind_of?(Hash)
      raise "Objects differ at #{path.join(".")}: extra keys in wanted: #{(wanted.keys - actual.keys).inspect}" if (wanted.keys - actual.keys).length > 0
      raise "Objects differ at #{path.join(".")}: extra keys in actual: #{(actual.keys - wanted.keys).inspect}" if (actual.keys - wanted.keys).length > 0
      wanted.keys.sort.each do |key|
