Subject: [PATCH] Convert DateTime to string value (#176)

* Convert DateTime to string value

Instead of showing `Expected a value less than DateTime. Got: DateTime` it will now show `Expected a value less than DateTime: "1999-01-01T00:00:00+00:00". Got: DateTime: "2020-01-01T00:00:00+00:00" ` which is much easier to understand.
