ENH: check_like for assert_series_equal (original) (raw)

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I wish assert_series_equal would contain the same check_like functionality as assert_frame_equal.

Describe the solution you'd like

The solution should be the same as assert_frame_equal.

API breaking implications

The change would be fully backward compatible (default value False).

Describe alternatives you've considered

I currently use assert_index_equal with check_order=False and use assert_series_equal with the reindexed Series.

Additional context

the following should not raise an AssertionError:

assert_series_equal( pd.Series([1, 2, 3], index=["a", "b", "c"]), pd.Series([3, 2, 1], index=["c", "b", "a"]), check_like=True, )

Note: If check_index is False then check_like must be False.

I'll create a PR in a bit.
