TestNG Version

7.4.0

Expected behavior

• Either: Documentation for Assert.assertEqualsNoOrder should say that array elements are not compared deeply
• Or: assertEqualsNoOrder should compare the array arguments deeply (i.e. compare nested array elements as well)

Actual behavior

assertEqualsNoOrder only compares array elements at the first nesting depth, but for deeper nesting depths arrays are compared by reference.

Test case sample

String[][] expected = {{}};
String[][] actual = {{}};
// EXPECTED: No exception
// ACTUAL: AssertionError
org.testng.Assert.assertEqualsNoOrder(actual, expected);
