assertJsonEqual does a recursive traverse of a data structure, using assertEqual strategically along the way. The problem with this is that it can lead to really cryptic messages like Failed '3' != '4' When some very deep list was the wrong number of elements. It doesn't tell you which list was the wrong number of elements, and so it's completely opaque to get to the bottom of. Especially if this doesn't happen on every run, just some. This creates a version which catches an inner match issue, and constructs a new failure which includes information about the 2 data structures being compared at the top level. This should help debugging racey unit test in the gate like test_describe_instances_with_filters_tags. Related-Bug: #1479780 Change-Id: I6f6e961a3c63f9f86fe9b21ce6c16a2e634e9ce5
OpenStack Nova README
OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of virtualization technologies, including KVM, Xen, LXC, VMware, and more. In addition to its native API, it includes compatibility with the commonly encountered Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:
Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:
