toString() then paste into "Open blank diff window" in the IDE?

[christophsturm]

Sure but I was looking for something automated for error messages

[louiscad]

Which error messages? In tests?

[christophsturm]

yes for a test runner or assertion lib. I know idea shows diffs per default, but I wonder if theres way to make it even nicer

[louiscad]

You can use reflection to make a JSON like output

[christophsturm]

yeah, was thinking along these lines but wanted to check whats already there
