How to check if two files have the same content?

Question

I am using mocha/supertest/should.js to test my Rest Service

GET /files/ returns file as stream.

How can I assert in should.js

Answer 1

Surprisingly, no one has suggested Buffer.equals. That seems to be the fastest and simplest approach and has been around since v0.11.

So your code would become tmpBuf.equals(testBuf)
