Comparing float and int

[oxodao]

Hi,

I'm trying to do a generic class to do unit-test of my Api-Platform endpoints. I end up iterating on all fields and using the PropertyAccessor to get the entity's value. Something looking like this:

foreach ($fields as $field => $propertyPath) {
    $value = $this->propertyAccessor->getValue($entity, $propertyPath);
    $browser->assertJsonMatches($field, $value);
}

It works well most of the time, except it requires the type to match as well, so in case of having a float in the database which contains an integer value, no separator is in the result so the value is parsed as an int by the browser which results in a failed test.

My solution is calling more or less the same as what we have in the assertJsonMatches but with equals instead of is:

 Assert::that($browser->json()->search($field))->equals($value);

It does work for my use case but I think there is a deeper problem here, since JSON doesn't have integer / float but rather numbers.
