Expect

Minimalistic BDD assertion toolkit based on should.js

expect(window.r).to.be(undefined);
expect({ a: 'b' }).to.eql({ a: 'b' })
expect(5).to.be.a('number');
expect([]).to.be.an('array');
expect(window).not.to.be.an(Image);

Features

• Cross-browser: works on IE6+, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera.
• Compatible with all test frameworks.
• Node.JS ready (require('expect.js')).
• Standalone. Single global with no prototype extensions or shims.

How to use

Node

Install it with NPM or add it to your package.json:

$ npm install expect.js

Then:

var expect = require('expect.js');

Browser

Expose the expect.js found at the top level of this repository.

<script src="expect.js"></script>

API

ok: asserts that the value is truthy or not

expect(1).to.be.ok();
expect(true).to.be.ok();
expect({}).to.be.ok();
expect(0).to.not.be.ok();

be / equal: asserts === equality

expect(1).to.be(1)
expect(NaN).not.to.equal(NaN);
expect(1).not.to.be(true)
expect('1').to.not.be(1);

eql: asserts loose equality that works with objects

expect({ a: 'b' }).to.eql({ a: 'b' });
expect(1).to.eql('1');

a/an: asserts typeof with support for array type and instanceof

// typeof with optional `array`
expect(5).to.be.a('number');
expect([]).to.be.an('array');  // works
expect([]).to.be.an('object'); // works too, since it uses `typeof`

// constructors
expect(5).to.be.a(Number);
expect([]).to.be.an(Array);
expect(tobi).to.be.a(Ferret);
expect(person).to.be.a(Mammal);

match: asserts String regular expression match

expect(program.version).to.match(/[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+/);

contain: asserts indexOf for an array or string

expect([1, 2]).to.contain(1);
expect('hello world').to.contain('world');

length: asserts array .length

expect([]).to.have.length(0);
expect([1,2,3]).to.have.length(3);

empty: asserts that an array is empty or not

expect([]).to.be.empty();
expect({}).to.be.empty();
expect({ length: 0, duck: 'typing' }).to.be.empty();
expect({ my: 'object' }).to.not.be.empty();
expect([1,2,3]).to.not.be.empty();

property: asserts presence of an own property (and value optionally)

expect(window).to.have.property('expect')
expect(window).to.have.property('expect', expect)
expect({a: 'b'}).to.have.property('a');

key/keys: asserts the presence of a key. Supports the only modifier

expect({ a: 'b' }).to.have.key('a');
expect({ a: 'b', c: 'd' }).to.only.have.keys('a', 'c');
expect({ a: 'b', c: 'd' }).to.only.have.keys(['a', 'c']);
expect({ a: 'b', c: 'd' }).to.not.only.have.key('a');

throwException/throwError: asserts that the Function throws or not when called

expect(fn).to.throwError(); // synonym of throwException
expect(fn).to.throwException(function (e) { // get the exception object
  expect(e).to.be.a(SyntaxError);
});
expect(fn).to.throwException(/matches the exception message/);
expect(fn2).to.not.throwException();

withArgs: creates anonymous function to call fn with arguments

expect(fn).withArgs(invalid, arg).to.throwException();
expect(fn).withArgs(valid, arg).to.not.throwException();

within: asserts a number within a range

expect(1).to.be.within(0, Infinity);

greaterThan/above: asserts >

expect(3).to.be.above(0);
expect(5).to.be.greaterThan(3);

lessThan/below: asserts <

expect(0).to.be.below(3);
expect(1).to.be.lessThan(3);

fail: explicitly forces failure.

expect().fail()
expect().fail("Custom failure message")

Using with a test framework

For example, if you create a test suite with mocha.

Let’s say we wanted to test the following program:

math.js

function add (a, b) { return a + b; };

Our test file would look like this:

describe('test suite', function () {
  it('should expose a function', function () {
    expect(add).to.be.a('function');
  });

  it('should do math', function () {
    expect(add(1, 3)).to.equal(4);
  });
});

If a certain expectation fails, an exception will be raised which gets captured and shown/processed by the test runner.

Differences with should.js

• No need for static should methods like should.strictEqual. For example, expect(obj).to.be(undefined) works well.
• Some API simplifications / changes.
• API changes related to browser compatibility.

Running tests

Clone the repository and install the developer dependencies:

git clone git://github.com/LearnBoost/expect.js.git expect
cd expect && npm install

Node

make test

Browser

make test-browser

and point your browser(s) to http://localhost:3000/test/
