<h1>Assert<span><a class="mark" href="#assert_assert" id="assert_assert">#</a></span></h1>
|
|
<pre><code>Stability: 5 - Locked</code></pre>
|
|
<p>This module is used for writing unit tests for your applications, you can
|
|
access it with <code>require('assert')</code>.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>assert.fail(actual, expected, message, operator)<span><a class="mark" href="#assert_assert_fail_actual_expected_message_operator" id="assert_assert_fail_actual_expected_message_operator">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<p>Throws an exception that displays the values for <code>actual</code> and <code>expected</code> separated by the provided operator.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>assert(value, message), assert.ok(value, [message])<span><a class="mark" href="#assert_assert_value_message_assert_ok_value_message" id="assert_assert_value_message_assert_ok_value_message">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<p>Tests if value is truthy, it is equivalent to <code>assert.equal(true, !!value, message);</code>
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>assert.equal(actual, expected, [message])<span><a class="mark" href="#assert_assert_equal_actual_expected_message" id="assert_assert_equal_actual_expected_message">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<p>Tests shallow, coercive equality with the equal comparison operator ( <code>==</code> ).
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>assert.notEqual(actual, expected, [message])<span><a class="mark" href="#assert_assert_notequal_actual_expected_message" id="assert_assert_notequal_actual_expected_message">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<p>Tests shallow, coercive non-equality with the not equal comparison operator ( <code>!=</code> ).
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>assert.deepEqual(actual, expected, [message])<span><a class="mark" href="#assert_assert_deepequal_actual_expected_message" id="assert_assert_deepequal_actual_expected_message">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<p>Tests for deep equality.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>assert.notDeepEqual(actual, expected, [message])<span><a class="mark" href="#assert_assert_notdeepequal_actual_expected_message" id="assert_assert_notdeepequal_actual_expected_message">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<p>Tests for any deep inequality.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>assert.strictEqual(actual, expected, [message])<span><a class="mark" href="#assert_assert_strictequal_actual_expected_message" id="assert_assert_strictequal_actual_expected_message">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<p>Tests strict equality, as determined by the strict equality operator ( <code>===</code> )
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>assert.notStrictEqual(actual, expected, [message])<span><a class="mark" href="#assert_assert_notstrictequal_actual_expected_message" id="assert_assert_notstrictequal_actual_expected_message">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<p>Tests strict non-equality, as determined by the strict not equal operator ( <code>!==</code> )
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>assert.throws(block, [error], [message])<span><a class="mark" href="#assert_assert_throws_block_error_message" id="assert_assert_throws_block_error_message">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<p>Expects <code>block</code> to throw an error. <code>error</code> can be constructor, regexp or
|
|
validation function.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Validate instanceof using constructor:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre><code>assert.throws(
|
|
function() {
|
|
throw new Error("Wrong value");
|
|
},
|
|
Error
|
|
);</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Validate error message using RegExp:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre><code>assert.throws(
|
|
function() {
|
|
throw new Error("Wrong value");
|
|
},
|
|
/value/
|
|
);</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Custom error validation:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre><code>assert.throws(
|
|
function() {
|
|
throw new Error("Wrong value");
|
|
},
|
|
function(err) {
|
|
if ( (err instanceof Error) && /value/.test(err) ) {
|
|
return true;
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"unexpected error"
|
|
);</code></pre>
|
|
<h2>assert.doesNotThrow(block, [error], [message])<span><a class="mark" href="#assert_assert_doesnotthrow_block_error_message" id="assert_assert_doesnotthrow_block_error_message">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<p>Expects <code>block</code> not to throw an error, see assert.throws for details.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>assert.ifError(value)<span><a class="mark" href="#assert_assert_iferror_value" id="assert_assert_iferror_value">#</a></span></h2>
|
|
<p>Tests if value is not a false value, throws if it is a true value. Useful when
|
|
testing the first argument, <code>error</code> in callbacks.
|
|
