Adds expect.assertions(n) and expect.hasAssertions to all tests automatically


Build Status Code Coverage version downloads MIT License PRs Welcome Roadmap Examples

Problem

Ever wondered if your tests are actually running their assertions, especially in asynchronous tests? Jest has two features built in to help with this: expect.assertions(number) and expect.hasAssertions(). These can be useful when doing something like:

it('resolves to one', () => {
  Promise.reject(1).then(value => expect(value).toBe(1));
});

The issue here is the catch case is not dealt with in this test, which is fine as we are testing the happy path, but this test will currently pass even though the Promise rejects and the assertion is never ran.

Solution

One solution is to manually adjust the above test to include expect.assertions(number) and expect.hasAssertions() this is quite verbose and prone to human error.

An alternative is a babel plugin to automate adding these additional properties, and this is such plugin πŸ˜‰

Installation

With npm:

npm install --save-dev babel-jest-assertions

With yarn:

yarn add -D babel-jest-assertions

Setup

.babelrc

{
  "plugins": ["babel-jest-assertions"]
}

CLI

babel --plugins babel-jest-assertions script.js

Node

require('babel-core').transform('code', {
  plugins: ['babel-jest-assertions'],
})

Usage

Simply write your tests as you would normally and this plugin will add the verification of assertions in the background.

One assertion

it('resolves to one', () => {
  Promise.reject(1).then(value => expect(value).toBe(1));
});

↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

it('resolves to one', () => {
  expect.hasAssertions();
  expect.assertions(1);
  Promise.reject(1).then(value => expect(value).toBe(1));
});

Note: this test will now fail πŸŽ‰

Multiple assertions

it('counts multiple assertions too', () => {
  expect(1 + 0).toBe(1);
  expect(0 + 1).toBe(1);
});

↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

it('counts multiple assertions too', () => {
  expect.hasAssertions();
  expect.assertions(2);
  expect(1 + 0).toBe(1);
  expect(0 + 1).toBe(1);
});

Asynchronous assertions

it('counts multiple assertions too', async () => {
  const res = await fetch('www.example.com');
  expect(res.json).toBeTruthy();
  const json = await res.json();
  expect(json).toEqual({ whatever: 'trevor' });
});

↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

it('counts multiple assertions too', async () => {
  expect.hasAssertions();
  expect.assertions(2);
  const res = await fetch('www.example.com');
  expect(res.json).toBeTruthy();
  const json = await res.json();
  expect(json).toEqual({ whatever: 'trevor' });
});

beforeEach and afterEach blocks

If you have expectations inside either of beforeEach or afterEach blocks for your test then these expects will be included in the count - even if you have nested describe blocks each with their own beforeEach/afterEach the count will accumulate.

beforeEach(() => {
  expect(true).toBe(true);
});

afterEach(() => {
  expect(true).toBe(true);
});

describe('.add', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    expect(true).toBe(true);
  });
  afterEach(() => {
    expect(true).toBe(true);
  });
  it('returns 1 when given 0 and 1', () => {
    expect(add(1, 0)).toEqual(1);
  });

  describe('.add2', () => {
    beforeEach(() => {
      expect(true).toBe(true);
    });
    afterEach(() => {
      expect(true).toBe(true);
    });
    it('returns 1 when given 0 and 1', () => {
      expect(add2(1, 0)).toEqual(1);
    });
  });
});

      ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

beforeEach(() => {
  expect(true).toBe(true);
});

afterEach(() => {
  expect(true).toBe(true);
});

describe('.add', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    expect(true).toBe(true);
  });
  afterEach(() => {
    expect(true).toBe(true);
  });
  it('returns 1 when given 0 and 1', () => {
    expect.assertions(5);
    expect.hasAssertions();

    expect(add2(1, 0)).toEqual(1);
  });

  describe('.add2', () => {
    beforeEach(() => {
      expect(true).toBe(true);
    });
    afterEach(() => {
      expect(true).toBe(true);
    });
    it('returns 1 when given 0 and 1', () => {
      expect.assertions(7);
      expect.hasAssertions();

      expect(add2(1, 0)).toEqual(1);
    });
  });
});

Comments are ignored

it('ignores commented-out assertions', async () => {
  const res = await fetch('www.example.com');
  // expect(res.json).toBeTruthy();
  const json = await res.json();
  /*
    expect(json).toEqual({ whatever: 'trevor1' });
  */
  expect(json).toEqual({ whatever: 'trevor' });
  /* expect(json).toEqual({ whatever: 'trevor2' }); */
});

↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

it('counts multiple assertions too', async () => {
  expect.hasAssertions();
  expect.assertions(1);
  const res = await fetch('www.example.com');
  // expect(res.json).toBeTruthy();
  const json = await res.json();
  /*
    expect(json).toEqual({ whatever: 'trevor1' });
  */
  expect(json).toEqual({ whatever: 'trevor' });
  /* expect(json).toEqual({ whatever: 'trevor2' }); */
});

Override

If you add either expect.assertions(number) or expect.hasAssertions() then your defaults will be favoured and the plugin will skip the test.

it('will leave test as override supplied', () => {
  expect.hasAssertions();
  expect.assertions(1);

  if (true) {
    expect(true).toBe(true);
  }

  if (false) {
    expect(false).toBe(false);
  }
});

↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

it('will leave test as override supplied', () => {
  expect.hasAssertions();
  expect.assertions(1);

  if (true) {
    expect(true).toBe(true);
  }

  if (false) {
    expect(false).toBe(false);
  }
});
