Package Exports

@neronina/jest-expect-message
@neronina/jest-expect-message/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@neronina/jest-expect-message) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Add custom message to Jest expects

Problem

In many testing libraries it is possible to supply a custom message for a given expectation, this is currently not possible in Jest.

For example:

test('returns 2 when adding 1 and 1', () => {
  expect(1 + 1, 'Woah this should be 2!').toBe(3);
});

This will throw the following error in Jest:

Expect takes at most one argument.

Solution

jest-expect-message allows you to call expect with a second argument of a String message.

For example the same test as above:

test('returns 2 when adding 1 and 1', () => {
  expect(1 + 1, 'Woah this should be 2!').toBe(3);
});

With jest-expect-message this will fail with your custom error message:

  ● returns 2 when adding 1 and 1

    Custom message:
      Woah this should be 2!

    expect(received).toBe(expected) // Object.is equality

    Expected: 3
    Received: 2

Installation

With npm:

npm install --save-dev jest-expect-message

With yarn:

yarn add -D jest-expect-message

Setup

Add jest-expect-message to your Jest setupFilesAfterEnv configuration. See for help

Jest v24+

"jest": {
  "setupFilesAfterEnv": ["jest-expect-message"]
}

Jest v23-

"jest": {
  "setupTestFrameworkScriptFile": "jest-expect-message"
}

Usage

expect(actual, message)
- actual: The value you would normally pass into an expect to assert against with a given matcher.
- message: String, the custom message you want to be printed should the expect fail.

test('returns 2 when adding 1 and 1', () => {
  expect(1 + 1, 'Woah this should be 2!').toBe(3);
});
