[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/defunctzombie/commonjs-assert.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/defunctzombie/commonjs-assert)
|
||
|
|
||
|
This module is used for writing unit tests for your applications, you can access it with require('assert').
|
||
|
|
||
|
The API is derived from the [commonjs 1.0 unit testing](http://wiki.commonjs.org/wiki/Unit_Testing/1.0) spec and the [node.js assert module](http://nodejs.org/api/assert.html)
|
||
|
|
||
|
## assert.fail(actual, expected, message, operator)
|
||
|
Throws an exception that displays the values for actual and expected separated by the provided operator.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## assert(value, message), assert.ok(value, [message])
|
||
|
Tests if value is truthy, it is equivalent to assert.equal(true, !!value, message);
|
||
|
|
||
|
## assert.equal(actual, expected, [message])
|
||
|
Tests shallow, coercive equality with the equal comparison operator ( == ).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## assert.notEqual(actual, expected, [message])
|
||
|
Tests shallow, coercive non-equality with the not equal comparison operator ( != ).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## assert.deepEqual(actual, expected, [message])
|
||
|
Tests for deep equality.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## assert.notDeepEqual(actual, expected, [message])
|
||
|
Tests for any deep inequality.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## assert.strictEqual(actual, expected, [message])
|
||
|
Tests strict equality, as determined by the strict equality operator ( === )
|
||
|
|
||
|
## assert.notStrictEqual(actual, expected, [message])
|
||
|
Tests strict non-equality, as determined by the strict not equal operator ( !== )
|
||
|
|
||
|
## assert.throws(block, [error], [message])
|
||
|
Expects block to throw an error. error can be constructor, regexp or validation function.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Validate instanceof using constructor:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
assert.throws(function() { throw new Error("Wrong value"); }, Error);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Validate error message using RegExp:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
assert.throws(function() { throw new Error("Wrong value"); }, /value/);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Custom error validation:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
assert.throws(function() {
|
||
|
throw new Error("Wrong value");
|
||
|
}, function(err) {
|
||
|
if ( (err instanceof Error) && /value/.test(err) ) {
|
||
|
return true;
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
}, "unexpected error");
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## assert.doesNotThrow(block, [message])
|
||
|
Expects block not to throw an error, see assert.throws for details.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## assert.ifError(value)
|
||
|
Tests if value is not a false value, throws if it is a true value. Useful when testing the first argument, error in callbacks.
