Currently, JSON.stringify() is used to create error messages on failed assertions. This causes an error when stringifying objects with circular references. This commit switches out JSON.stringify() for util.inspect(), which can handle circular references.

This is a good idea. +1 |

All tests pass (unsurprisingly), landed in bcff90e. |
|
@cjihrig Would be good to land this in io.js as well. |
|
@piscisaureus this could be considered a breaking change. Thoughts on that? |
|
I would agree |
|
@cjihrig Semver-minor? The merge window for 1.1 is open. |
|
@piscisaureus I would say semver-major because perfectly valid programs could stop working if they were doing any string matching on the output. I'll open a PR over there and see what others say. |
