to be less than

  • <string> [not] to be (less than|below) <string>

Asserts that a string is less than another string using the < operator.

expect('a', 'to be less than', 'b');
expect('a', 'to be below', 'b');

In case of a failing expectation you get the following output:

expect('a', 'to be less than', 'a');
expected 'a' to be less than 'a'

This assertion can be negated using the not flag:

expect('a', 'not to be less than', 'a');
expect('a', 'not to be below', 'a');

In case of a failing expectation you get the following output:

expect('a', 'not to be below', 'b');
expected 'a' not to be below 'b'
