Package description
The assertion-error package is used to create error objects that are specifically meant for testing assertions. It is commonly used in conjunction with assertion libraries to provide a more descriptive error message when an assertion fails. The error object created by assertion-error includes a message and can also include properties that describe the assertion that failed.
Creating an AssertionError instance
This feature allows you to create an instance of an AssertionError with a custom message. This is useful when you want to throw a specific error in your tests when an assertion fails.
{"const AssertionError = require('assertion-error');
const error = new AssertionError('expected value to be true');
throw error;"}Chai is a BDD / TDD assertion library for node and the browser that can be delightfully paired with any javascript testing framework. It offers more comprehensive features for assertions compared to assertion-error, including a range of assertion styles (expect, should, assert) and numerous plugins.
Should.js is an expressive, readable, framework-agnostic assertion library. The key difference is that should.js provides a rich set of assertions and chainable methods to construct assertions, whereas assertion-error is focused on creating error objects for failed assertions.
Expect.js is a minimalistic BDD-style assertions library that can be used in node.js or in the browser. It provides a similar set of assertion checks as assertion-error but with a different API and additional features like chainable assertions.
