GMAssert
Easy assertion checking for GMS 2.x and 1.4

Overview
GMAssert is a library containing useful assertions for debugging and automated unit testing. You can use it to alert you to undesirable runtime conditions, pause the debugger at that point for further inspection, or quickly test code for expected behaviour.

GMS 1.4: Download | GitHub | Documentation

Examples

Successful Assertion:

Spoiler

var name = "Alice";
assert_equal(name, "Alice", "Name isn't Alice!");

This proceeds silently without error messages.

Failed Assertion:

Spoiler

var name = "Bob";
assert_equal(name, "Alice", "Name isn't Alice!");

This shows the following error message by default:

___________________________________________
############################################################################################
FATAL ERROR in Room Creation Code for room rm_test

Name is wrong!

Expected: (string)
"Alice"

Got: (string)
"Bob"

Update: v2.0.1 has been pushed to the YoYo Marketplace. This release is for resolving a Marketplace-side issue, and contains no new changes. If you downloaded the v2.0.0 extension and it came with only the __GMA_BREAKPOINT__ script but no extensions, please retry with v2.0.1 and verify that the main extension is present.

Update: v2.3.0 is now available! This release adds support for Feather type-hinting and partial installations including only select groups of assertions.
