Custom object formatters allow users to customize how an object is
stringified in matcher failure messages. This can already be done by
adding a `jasmineToString` method to the objects in question. But
it's not always desirable or possible to do that, particularly when
objects of a given "type" do not inherit from a specific prototype.
For instance, suppose a web service returns a list of foos that are
deserialized from JSON, e.g.:
{ fooId: 42, /* more properties */ }
The only way to define `jasmineToString` on those is by writing code to
add it to each instance at runtime. But a custom object formatter can
recognize that the object it's looking at is a foo and format it
accordingly:
jasmine.addCustomObjectFormatter(function(obj) {
if (typeof obj.fooId !== 'number') {
return undefined;
}
return '[Foo with ID ' + obj.fooId + ']';
});
Unlike `jasmineToString`, custom object formatters are scoped to a
particular spec or suite and don't require any changes to the code
under test.
This will allow us to add support for custom object formatters, which
will be a per-runable resource like custom matchers, by injecting them
into the pretty-printer.
This makes it easier to write high quality matchers and asymmetric equality
testers, and is also a step toward supporting custom object formatters.
Previously, Jasmine passed custom object formatters as the second argument
to matcher factories and as and the second argument to asymmetric equality
testers' `asymmetricMatch` method. Matchers and asymmetric equality testers
were responsible for passing the custom object formatters to methods like
`matchersUtil#equals`:
function toEqual(util, customEqualityTesters) {
return {
compare: function(actual, expected) {
// ...
result.pass = util.equals(actual, expected, customEqualityTesters, diffBuilder);
And:
ArrayContaining.prototype.asymmetricMatch = function(other, customTesters) {
// ...
for (var i = 0; i < this.sample.length; i++) {
var item = this.sample[i];
if (!j$.matchersUtil.contains(other, item, customTesters)) {
return false;
}
}
With this change, that is no longer necessary. Matchers and asymmetric
equality testers can ignore the existence of custom equality testers and
still fully support them:
function toEqual(util) {
return {
compare: function(actual, expected) {
// ...
result.pass = util.equals(actual, expected, diffBuilder);
And:
ArrayContaining.prototype.asymmetricMatch = function(other, matchersUtil) {
// ...
for (var i = 0; i < this.sample.length; i++) {
var item = this.sample[i];
if (!matchersUtil.contains(other, item)) {
return false;
}
}
The old interfaces are still supported, for now, but will be deprecated
in a future commit and removed in the next major release after that.
In addition to making matchers and custom equality testers simpler,
this change sets the stage for adding support for custom object
formatters. Those will be architecturally similar to custom equality
testers, and by injecting a `MatchersUtil` instance everywhere we can
add them without requiring user code to pass them around as used to be
the case with custom object formatters.
* Use Windows instead of Linux so we can get current browsers from Sauce.
* Test against the version of Firefox that corresponds to ESR as well as
latest.
* Test the latest Edge rather than a specific older version.
* Test Safari 8 and 13 instead of 8, 9 and 10. What works in those versions
is likely to work in the ones in between.
Property tests can only run in Node, so they were previously in another
directory that only gets run in Node. Now they're next to the related
non-property tests and marked pending in the browser. This makes it more
likely that a developer who normally only runs tests in the browser will
notice and run them.
* See #1764 from @dubzzz
* Property tests are only run in Node, not browser.
* The Travis build sets JASMINE_LONG_PROPERTY_TESTS to enable much more
thorough (but slow) testing.
When I first saw it(), I was wondering if the name "it" is
an abbreviation of anything. After some search, I finally
realized that the name is only a pronoun. Therefore, I
think it's worthwhile to include it in the documentation.
If the tests only fail on one browser, it's usually IE. So testing
IE first gives us faster feedback in cases where we're actively
watching the Travis build.
Turns this output:
Expected $[0].foo = Object({ a: 4, b: 5 }) to equal <jasmine.objectContaining(Object({ a: 1, c: 3 }))>.
into this:
Expected $[0].foo.a = 4 to equal 1.
Expected $[0].foo.c = undefined to equal 3.
And turns this output:
Expected spy jasmineDone to have been called with:
[ ... snipped very long expected call ]
but actual calls were:
[ ... snipped very long actual call ]
Call 0:
Expected $[0] = Object({ overallStatus: 'failed', totalTime: 1, incompleteReason: undefined, order: Order({ random: true, seed: '88732', sort: Function }), failedExpectations: [ Object({ matcherName: 'toBeResolved', passed: false, message: 'Suite "a suite" ran a "toBeResolved" expectation after it finished.
Did you forget to return or await the result of expectAsync?', error: undefined, errorForStack: Error, actual: [object Promise], expected: [ ], globalErrorType: 'lateExpeztation' }) ], deprecationWarnings: [ ] }) to equal <jasmine.objectContaining(Object({ failedExpectations: [ <jasmine.objectContaining(Object({ passed: false, globalErrorType: 'lateExpectation', message: 'Suite "a suite" ran a "toBeResolved" expectation after it finished.
Did you forget to return or await the result of expectAsync?', matcherName: 'toBeResolved' }))> ] }))>.
into this:
Expected spy jasmineDone to have been called with:
[ ... snipped very long expected call ]
but actual calls were:
[ ... snipped very long actual call ]
Call 0:
Expected $[0].failedExpectations[0].globalErrorType = 'lateExpeztation' to equal 'lateExpectation'.
This makes it easier to see where each failure message begins and ends.
Before:
Some context: a
multiline
message
After:
Some context:
a
multiline
message
It's very easy to forget to `await` or `return` the promise returned
from `expectAsync`. When that happens, the expectation failure will
occur after the spec or suite's result has been reported to reporters,
and the failure will typically not be shown to the user. This change
adds a top-level suite failure in that case, similar to the way we
report unhandled exceptions or promise rejections that occur after the
runable completes. Adding the error at the top level gives us the best
chance of getting in before the set of failures we add it to is sent
to reporters.
