my $o = bless { x => bless ['y'], 'My::Value' }, 'My::Class';

I want to verify that the object when cursed recursively will consist of

{ x => [$v], # where $v is 'y' or 'z'
  a => 'b' } # if a exists at all
[download]

I thought Test::Deep's noclass should be able to tell me.

cmp_deeply $o, noclass(subhashof({ a => 'b', x => subbagof('y', 'z') }
+));

But it doesn't work:

#   Failed test at ...
# Comparing $data->{"x"} as a SubBag
# got    : My::Value=ARRAY(0x561fbd1fe3a8)
# expect : An array to use as a Bag

Without an object, it works nicely:

cmp_deeply { x => ['y'] },
           subhashof({ a => 'b', x => subbagof('y', 'z') });

I asked about it in #freenode and was pointed towards Test2::Tools::Compare. It was the first time I played with it, so maybe my code is a bit clumsy, but I was able to write a test that passes:

use Test2::Tools::Compare qw{ like hash item field in_set DNE bag };

my $o = bless { x => bless ['y'], 'My::Value' }, 'My::Class';


like({ x => ['y'] },
     hash { field a => in_set(DNE(), 'b');
            field x => bag { item in_set('y', 'z') };
     }
);

like $o, hash { field a => in_set(DNE(), 'b');
                field x => [ in_set('y', 'z') ];
         };

How to do the comparison with Test::Deep? I tried adding another noclass to the value, or even noclass(useclass(...)), but it always failed similarly.
