Expect object to have property about code

[AdriVanHoudt]

Can you do expect(obj.a).to.exist().and.to.equal('foo')?

[Marsup]

Less elegant but yes that would work. I'll wait for @cjihrig to advise on whether we add this.

[cjihrig]

I personally prefer @AdriVanHoudt's version, but I would take a PR for this.

[hueniverse]

I purposely didn't include it because expect(obj).to.contain({ a: 'foo' }) does the trick just fine.

[AdriVanHoudt]

I prefer Eran's solution but it doesn't allow you to do expect(obj.a).to.exist().and.to.contains('foo')

[hueniverse]

What's the diff? if obj.a doesn't exist, my assertion will fail.

[AdriVanHoudt]

In your case you check if obj has the property a with value foo in my case you check if obj.a contains the value foo so it can also be foo bar or am I doing it wrong?

[hueniverse]

Ah, you are using the string version. I generally avoid using partial comparisons...

[AdriVanHoudt]

Ah yes if you take the original request your version would be better

[Marsup]

Does it work for deep equal as well ? Like expect(obj).to.contain({ a: { foo: 'bar' }}).
Is it partial ? (ie. a may not only contain foo).
I'm trying to also find alternatives to expect(obj).to.have.deep.property('a.foo').that.equal('bar').

[hueniverse]

It should. Look at the tests in both hoek and code.

[Marsup]

Well nope :

> Code.expect({ foo: { bar: 'baz', foo: 'bar' }}).to.deep.include({ foo: { bar: 'baz' } })
Error: Expected { foo: { bar: 'baz', foo: 'bar' } } to include { foo: { bar: 'baz' } }
