The methods assertContains() and assertNotContains() now perform
strict (type and value) comparison, pretty much like assertSame()
does.
A couple of new assertContainsEquals() and assertNotContainsEquals()
methods have been created to provide old (non-strict) behavior, pretty
much like assertEquals() do.
Apart from replacing the calls needing a relaxed comparison to those
new methods, there are also a couple of alternative, about how to
fix this, depending of every case:
- If the test is making any array_values() conversion, then it's better
to remove that conversion and use assertArrayHasKey(), that is not
strict.
- Sometimes if may be also possible to, simply, cast the expectation
to the exact type coming in the array. I've not applied this technique
to any of the cases in core.
