to contain
- <array-like> [not] to contain <any+>
- <array-like> to [only] contain <any+>
Asserts an array (or array-like object) contains one or more items.
expect([0, 1, 2], 'to contain', 1);expect([{ name: 'John Doe' }, { name: 'Jane Doe' }], 'to contain', {name: 'Jane Doe',});expect([0, 1, 2], 'to contain', 0, 2);
In case of a failing expectation you get the following output:
expect([{ name: 'John Doe' }, { name: 'Jane Doe' }], 'to contain', {name: 'Jonnie Doe',});
expected [ { name: 'John Doe' }, { name: 'Jane Doe' } ]to contain { name: 'Jonnie Doe' }
This assertion can be negated using the not
flag:
expect([{ name: 'John Doe' }, { name: 'Jane Doe' }], 'not to contain', {name: 'Jonnie Doe',});
In case of a failing expectation you get the following output:
expect([{ name: 'John Doe' }, { name: 'Jane Doe' }], 'not to contain', {name: 'Jane Doe',});
expected [ { name: 'John Doe' }, { name: 'Jane Doe' } ]not to contain { name: 'Jane Doe' }[{ name: 'John Doe' },{ name: 'Jane Doe' } // should be removed]
You can use the only
flag to indicate that you want no other items to
be in the subject.
expect([{ name: 'John Doe' }, { name: 'Jane Doe' }],'to only contain',{ name: 'Jane Doe' },{ name: 'John Doe' });
In case there are more items than that in your subject, you will get the following output:
expect([{ name: 'Jane Doe' }, { name: 'John Doe' }], 'to only contain', {name: 'Jane Doe',});
expected [ { name: 'Jane Doe' }, { name: 'John Doe' } ]to only contain { name: 'Jane Doe' }[{ name: 'Jane Doe' },{ name: 'John Doe' } // should be removed]
