Currently, querying documents by a reference field (e.g.
.where("reference_field", "==", reference)) results in incorrect results due to document references not being compared properly. Even if there are documents with references that have the same path as the document reference passed into the query, no documents get returned.To address this, I've implemented
__eq__and__hash__to be more similar to the actualBaseDocumentReferenceimplementations (see here and here)._clientis included in the original implementation, but is not present in mocked base document. Therefore, I've opted to only hash / compare_path.
