APIv2 tests: usability: better test logging
test-apiv2 has two basic comparisons of returned JSON: equality and likeness ('=' and '~'). When logging failures, the test runner shows both actual and expected values. When logging success, for '=' there's no need to show both actual and expected. But for '~', it can be helpful (for verifying test correctness) to show the actual returned value. To be specific: old: ok ... .MemTotal~[0-9]\+ new: ok ... .MemTotal ('33509068800') ~ [0-9]\+ old: ok ... .[0].State~\(exited\|stopped\) new: ok ... .[0].State ('exited') ~ \(exited\|stopped\) The main benefit is that a developer or end user can easily see precisely what was returned; this can help confirm that the test is working as intended, and/or help fine-tune how the test is written.
