Package Exports

chai-pretty-expect

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 (chai-pretty-expect) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

chai-pretty-expect

Will JSON.stringify and pretty-print objects passed as 2nd, 3rd, ... parameter to expect, for nice test output.

Installation

npm install --save-dev chai-pretty-expect

Usage

 var chai = require('chai');
 chai.use(require('chai-pretty-expect'));

 //we are inside describe
 var response;

 before(function(done){
    return request.post(url, { json:true, body: myObject }, handleResponse); //post invalid json

    function handleResponse(err, res){
        if(err){
            return done(err);
        }
        response = res;
    }
 });

 it("returns correct statusCode", function() {
    expect(response, response.body).to.have.property("statusCode", 200);
 };

This expect will prettyPrint the response.body if statusCode is not 200. This is gives very nice error messages and makes sure that you can debug more easily when tests fail.

So instead of [Object object] you will get nice output of body
