来自Javascript和Mocha测试的意外断言错误

Question

I'm new to JavaScript and Mocha. Given the following code:

 const emailClothingOfferStatus = emailClothing => { let withEmailClothing = {} const emailClothingRegex = 'hello'; if(emailClothing){ withEmailClothing = {validPermStatus: emailClothing} } return request .get(`${API_ENDPOINT}/provider`) .query(withEmailClothing) .then( res => { if (res.body.validPermStatus.match(emailClothingRegex)) { return { clothingStatus: (res.body.validPermStatus) } //try/catch block here 

When I call with

  const response = emailClothingOfferStatus(clothingStatus); return expect(response).to.eventually.equal('hello') 

do I get the outcome of:

  AssertionError: expected { clothingStatus: 'hello' } to equal 'hello' 

Answer 1

Your test is expecting an object to match a string, which isn't quite what you want. Your emailClothingOfferStatus function is returning and object with a value of 'hello'.

You should be able to fix your test by specifying what you want response.clothingStatus to equal (asserting against the string value):

      const response = emailClothingOfferStatus(clothingStatus);
      return expect(response.clothingStatus).to.eventually.equal('hello')
