Let's say in response during tests I have such array:
array = [
'a', 'b',
'c', 'd',
'e', 'f',
'g', 'h',
'i', 'j'
]
And I want to check if this array really contains those values:
array.should.be.a.Array()
.with.lengthOf(response.body.length)
.and.have.properties('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j');
As you can see I can't use here have.properties because it's array, not object. So, how can I check ?
You can use should.deepEqual to match length and values with order
const arr = [
'a', 'b',
'c', 'd',
'e', 'f',
'g', 'h',
'i', 'j'
];
arr.should.deepEqual(arr);
console.log("test passed");<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/should.js/13.2.3/should.min.js"></script>If you need an exact match go with Chandan's answer, if you need to match a subset, you can use should.containDeep (see the docs). Here's an example:
const arr = [
'a', 'b',
'c', 'd',
'e', 'f',
'g', 'h',
'i', 'j'
];
arr.should.containDeep(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']);
console.log("test passed");<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/should.js/13.2.3/should.min.js"></script>
