better-expect
Assert-style handling of exceptions, modeled after
better-assert for
self-documenting failure messages.
Basically does the opposit of assert, by expecting an error to be thrown.
Installation
$ npm install better-expect
Example
As with better-assert, expectations can be deactivated with the NO_ASSERT
environmental variable.
var expect = require('better-expect');
function test() {
throw new Error();
};
expect(test);
// (passes)
expect(function() { return; });
// ExpectationError: function() { return; }
