when piped through

  • <Stream> [when] piped through <array|Stream> <assertion?>

Pipe the output of a readable stream through a transform stream or a sequence of transform streams, then delegate to another assertion using the last stream as the subject.

It's intended to be used with the to yield output satisfying assertion:

return expect(
  require('fs').createReadStream('LICENSE'),
  'when piped through',
  require('zlib').Gzip(),
  'to yield output satisfying',
  'to have length',
  792
);

Example with multiple transform streams:

return expect(
  require('fs').createReadStream('LICENSE'),
  'when piped through',
  [require('zlib').Gzip(), require('zlib').Gunzip()],
  'to yield output satisfying',
  'when decoded as',
  'ascii',
  'not to contain',
  'IMPLIED WARRANTIES'
);
expected ReadStream
when piped through [ GzipGunzip ] to yield output satisfying when decoded as 'ascii' not to contain 'IMPLIED WARRANTIES'
  
expected Gunzip
to yield output satisfying when decoded as 'ascii' not to contain 'IMPLIED WARRANTIES'
  
expected Buffer.from([0x43, 0x6F, 0x70, 0x79, 0x72, 0x69, 0x67, 0x68, 0x74, 0x20, 0x28, 0x63, 0x29, 0x20, 0x32, 0x30 /* 1478 more */ ])
when decoded as 'ascii' not to contain 'IMPLIED WARRANTIES'
