Package Exports
- @serenity-js/assertions
- @serenity-js/assertions/lib/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 (@serenity-js/assertions) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
Serenity/JS Assertions
@serenity-js/assertions
provides a rich set of Screenplay Pattern-compatible assertions and expectations for verifying the system under test and synchronising the test flow.
Features
- Fluent, expressive assertions following the Screenplay Pattern for readable and maintainable tests.
- Seamless integration with all supported test runners.
- Rich set of built-in matchers for common scenarios, with easy support for custom matchers.
- TypeScript-first design with strong typing for safer, more predictable test code.
Installation
npm install --save-dev @serenity-js/core @serenity-js/assertionsSee the Serenity/JS Installation Guide.
Quick Start
import { actorCalled } from '@serenity-js/core';
import { Ensure, equals } from '@serenity-js/assertions';
await actorCalled('Alice').attemptsTo(
Ensure.that(2 + 2, equals(4))
)Explore practical examples and in-depth explanations in the Serenity/JS Handbook.
Usage Examples
Performing assertion
To perform an assertion, use the Ensure.that
or Ensure.eventually tasks,
along with an appropriate expectation:
import { Ensure, endsWith } from '@serenity-js/assertions'
import { actorCalled } from '@serenity-js/core'
import { Navigate, Page } from '@serenity-js/web'
await actorCalled('Erica').attemptsTo(
Navigate.to('https://serenity-js.org'),
Ensure.that(
Page.current().title(),
endsWith('Serenity/JS')
),
)Controlling execution flow
To control the execution flow based on certain conditions, use the Check.whether task:
import { actorCalled } from '@serenity-js/core'
import { Check } from '@serenity-js/assertions'
import { Click, isVisible } from '@serenity-js/web'
await actorCalled('Erica').attemptsTo(
Check.whether(NewsletterModal, isVisible())
.andIfSo(Click.on(CloseModalButton)),
)Synchronising execution with the System Under Test
To synchronise the test flow with the state of the System Under Test,
use the Wait.until task:
import { actorCalled } from '@serenity-js/core'
import { Click, isVisible, Wait } from '@serenity-js/web'
await actorCalled('Erica').attemptsTo(
Wait.until(CloseModalButton, isVisible()),
Click.on(CloseModalButton)
)Defining custom expectations
To define a custom expectation,
use the Expectation.thatActualShould method:
import { actorCalled } from '@serenity-js/core'
import { Expectation, Ensure } from '@serenity-js/assertions'
function isDivisibleBy(expected: Answerable<number>): Expectation<number> {
return Expectation.thatActualShould<number, number>('have value divisible by', expected)
.soThat((actualValue, expectedValue) => actualValue % expectedValue === 0)
}
await actorCalled('Erica').attemptsTo(
Ensure.that(4, isDivisibleBy(2)),
)Composing expectations
To compose complex expectations, use the Expectation.to method:
import { actorCalled } from '@serenity-js/core'
import { Expectation, Ensure, and, or, isGreaterThan, isLessThan, equals } from '@serenity-js/assertions'
function isWithin(lowerBound: number, upperBound: number) {
return Expectation
.to(`have value within ${ lowerBound } and ${ upperBound }`)
.soThatActual(and(
or(isGreaterThan(lowerBound), equals(lowerBound)),
or(isLessThan(upperBound), equals(upperBound)),
))
}
await actorCalled('Erica').attemptsTo(
Ensure.that(5, isWithin(3, 6)),
