# class: GenericAssertions
* since: v1.9
* langs: js
The [GenericAssertions] class provides assertion methods that can be used to make assertions about any values in the tests. A new instance of [GenericAssertions] is created by calling [`method: PlaywrightAssertions.expectGeneric`]:
```js
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
test('assert a value', async ({ page }) => {
const value = 1;
expect(value).toBe(2);
});
```
## property: GenericAssertions.not
* since: v1.9
- returns: <[GenericAssertions]>
Makes the assertion check for the opposite condition. For example, the following code passes:
```js
const value = 1;
expect(value).not.toBe(2);
```
## method: GenericAssertions.toBe
* since: v1.9
Compares value with [`param: expected`] by calling `Object.is`. This method compares objects by reference instead of their contents, similarly to the strict equality operator `===`.
**Usage**
```js
const value = { prop: 1 };
expect(value).toBe(value);
expect(value).not.toBe({});
expect(value.prop).toBe(1);
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toBe.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[any]>
Expected value.
## method: GenericAssertions.toBeCloseTo
* since: v1.9
Compares floating point numbers for approximate equality. Use this method instead of [`method: GenericAssertions.toBe`] when comparing floating point numbers.
**Usage**
```js
expect(0.1 + 0.2).not.toBe(0.3);
expect(0.1 + 0.2).toBeCloseTo(0.3, 5);
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toBeCloseTo.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[float]>
Expected value.
### param: GenericAssertions.toBeCloseTo.numDigits
* since: v1.9
- `numDigits` ?<[int]>
The number of decimal digits after the decimal point that must be equal.
## method: GenericAssertions.toBeDefined
* since: v1.9
Ensures that value is not `undefined`.
**Usage**
```js
const value = null;
expect(value).toBeDefined();
```
## method: GenericAssertions.toBeFalsy
* since: v1.9
Ensures that value is false in a boolean context, one of `false`, `0`, `''`, `null`, `undefined` or `NaN`. Use this method when you don't care about the specific value.
**Usage**
```js
const value = null;
expect(value).toBeFalsy();
```
## method: GenericAssertions.toBeGreaterThan
* since: v1.9
Ensures that `value > expected` for number or big integer values.
**Usage**
```js
const value = 42;
expect(value).toBeGreaterThan(1);
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toBeGreaterThan.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[float]|[bigint]>
The value to compare to.
## method: GenericAssertions.toBeGreaterThanOrEqual
* since: v1.9
Ensures that `value >= expected` for number or big integer values.
**Usage**
```js
const value = 42;
expect(value).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(42);
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toBeGreaterThanOrEqual.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[float]|[bigint]>
The value to compare to.
## method: GenericAssertions.toBeInstanceOf
* since: v1.9
Ensures that value is an instance of a class. Uses `instanceof` operator.
**Usage**
```js
expect(page).toBeInstanceOf(Page);
class Example {}
expect(new Example()).toBeInstanceOf(Example);
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toBeInstanceOf.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[Function]>
The class or constructor function.
## method: GenericAssertions.toBeLessThan
* since: v1.9
Ensures that `value < expected` for number or big integer values.
**Usage**
```js
const value = 42;
expect(value).toBeLessThan(100);
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toBeLessThan.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[float]|[bigint]>
The value to compare to.
## method: GenericAssertions.toBeLessThanOrEqual
* since: v1.9
Ensures that `value <= expected` for number or big integer values.
**Usage**
```js
const value = 42;
expect(value).toBeLessThanOrEqual(42);
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toBeLessThanOrEqual.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[float]|[bigint]>
The value to compare to.
## method: GenericAssertions.toBeNaN
* since: v1.9
Ensures that value is `NaN`.
**Usage**
```js
const value = NaN;
expect(value).toBeNaN();
```
## method: GenericAssertions.toBeNull
* since: v1.9
Ensures that value is `null`.
**Usage**
```js
const value = null;
expect(value).toBeNull();
```
## method: GenericAssertions.toBeTruthy
* since: v1.9
Ensures that value is true in a boolean context, **anything but** `false`, `0`, `''`, `null`, `undefined` or `NaN`. Use this method when you don't care about the specific value.
**Usage**
```js
const value = { example: 'value' };
expect(value).toBeTruthy();
```
## method: GenericAssertions.toBeUndefined
* since: v1.9
Ensures that value is `undefined`.
**Usage**
```js
const value = undefined;
expect(value).toBeUndefined();
```
## method: GenericAssertions.toContain#1
* since: v1.9
Ensures that string value contains an expected substring. Comparison is case-sensitive.
**Usage**
```js
const value = 'Hello, World';
expect(value).toContain('World');
expect(value).toContain(',');
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toContain#1.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[string]>
Expected substring.
## method: GenericAssertions.toContain#2
* since: v1.9
Ensures that value is an `Array` or `Set` and contains an expected item.
**Usage**
```js
const value = [1, 2, 3];
expect(value).toContain(2);
expect(new Set(value)).toContain(2);
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toContain#2.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[any]>
Expected value in the collection.
## method: GenericAssertions.toContainEqual
* since: v1.9
Ensures that value is an `Array` or `Set` and contains an item equal to the expected.
For objects, this method recursively checks equality of all fields, rather than comparing objects by reference as performed by [`method: GenericAssertions.toContain#2`].
For primitive values, this method is equivalent to [`method: GenericAssertions.toContain#2`].
**Usage**
```js
const value = [
{ example: 1 },
{ another: 2 },
{ more: 3 },
];
expect(value).toContainEqual({ another: 2 });
expect(new Set(value)).toContainEqual({ another: 2 });
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toContainEqual.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[any]>
Expected value in the collection.
## method: GenericAssertions.toEqual
* since: v1.9
Compares contents of the value with contents of [`param: expected`], performing "deep equality" check.
For objects, this method recursively checks equality of all fields, rather than comparing objects by reference as performed by [`method: GenericAssertions.toBe`].
For primitive values, this method is equivalent to [`method: GenericAssertions.toBe`].
**Usage**
```js
const value = { prop: 1 };
expect(value).toEqual({ prop: 1 });
```
**Non-strict equality**
[`method: GenericAssertions.toEqual`] performs deep equality check that compares contents of the received and expected values. To ensure two objects reference the same instance, use [`method: GenericAssertions.toBe`] instead.
[`method: GenericAssertions.toEqual`] ignores `undefined` properties and array items, and does not insist on object types being equal. For stricter matching, use [`method: GenericAssertions.toStrictEqual`].
**Pattern matching**
[`method: GenericAssertions.toEqual`] can be also used to perform pattern matching on objects, arrays and primitive types, with the help of the following matchers:
* [`method: GenericAssertions.any`]
* [`method: GenericAssertions.anything`]
* [`method: GenericAssertions.arrayContaining`]
* [`method: GenericAssertions.closeTo`]
* [`method: GenericAssertions.objectContaining`]
* [`method: GenericAssertions.stringContaining`]
* [`method: GenericAssertions.stringMatching`]
Here is an example that asserts some of the values inside a complex object:
```js
expect({
list: [1, 2, 3],
obj: { prop: 'Hello world!', another: 'some other value' },
extra: 'extra',
}).toEqual(expect.objectContaining({
list: expect.arrayContaining([2, 3]),
obj: expect.objectContaining({ prop: expect.stringContaining('Hello') }),
}));
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toEqual.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[any]>
Expected value.
## method: GenericAssertions.toHaveLength
* since: v1.9
Ensures that value has a `.length` property equal to [`param: expected`]. Useful for arrays and strings.
**Usage**
```js
expect('Hello, World').toHaveLength(12);
expect([1, 2, 3]).toHaveLength(3);
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toHaveLength.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[int]>
Expected length.
## method: GenericAssertions.toHaveProperty
* since: v1.9
Ensures that property at provided `keyPath` exists on the object and optionally checks that property is equal to the [`param: expected`]. Equality is checked recursively, similarly to [`method: GenericAssertions.toEqual`].
**Usage**
```js
const value = {
a: {
b: [42],
},
c: true,
};
expect(value).toHaveProperty('a.b');
expect(value).toHaveProperty('a.b', [42]);
expect(value).toHaveProperty('a.b[0]', 42);
expect(value).toHaveProperty('c');
expect(value).toHaveProperty('c', true);
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toHaveProperty.keyPath
* since: v1.9
- `keyPath` <[string]>
Path to the property. Use dot notation `a.b` to check nested properties and indexed `a[2]` notation to check nested array items.
### param: GenericAssertions.toHaveProperty.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` ?<[any]>
Optional expected value to compare the property to.
## method: GenericAssertions.toMatch
* since: v1.9
Ensures that string value matches a regular expression.
**Usage**
```js
const value = 'Is 42 enough?';
expect(value).toMatch(/Is \d+ enough/);
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toMatch.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[RegExp]|[string]>
Regular expression to match against.
## method: GenericAssertions.toMatchObject
* since: v1.9
Compares contents of the value with contents of [`param: expected`], performing "deep equality" check. Allows extra properties to be present in the value, unlike [`method: GenericAssertions.toEqual`], so you can check just a subset of object properties.
When comparing arrays, the number of items must match, and each item is checked recursively.
**Usage**
```js
const value = {
a: 1,
b: 2,
c: true,
};
expect(value).toMatchObject({ a: 1, c: true });
expect(value).toMatchObject({ b: 2, c: true });
expect([{ a: 1, b: 2 }]).toMatchObject([{ a: 1 }]);
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toMatchObject.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[Object]|[Array]>
The expected object value to match against.
## method: GenericAssertions.toStrictEqual
* since: v1.9
Compares contents of the value with contents of [`param: expected`] **and** their types.
Differences from [`method: GenericAssertions.toEqual`]:
* Keys with undefined properties are checked. For example, `{ a: undefined, b: 2 }` does not match `{ b: 2 }`.
* Array sparseness is checked. For example, `[, 1]` does not match `[undefined, 1]`.
* Object types are checked to be equal. For example, a class instance with fields `a` and `b` will not equal a literal object with fields `a` and `b`.
**Usage**
```js
const value = { prop: 1 };
expect(value).toStrictEqual({ prop: 1 });
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toStrictEqual.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[any]>
Expected value.
## method: GenericAssertions.toThrow
* since: v1.9
Calls the function and ensures it throws an error.
Optionally compares the error with [`param: expected`]. Allowed expected values:
* Regular expression - error message should **match** the pattern.
* String - error message should **include** the substring.
* Error object - error message should be **equal to** the message property of the object.
* Error class - error object should be an **instance of** the class.
**Usage**
```js
expect(() => {
throw new Error('Something bad');
}).toThrow();
expect(() => {
throw new Error('Something bad');
}).toThrow(/something/);
expect(() => {
throw new Error('Something bad');
}).toThrow(Error);
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toThrow.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` ?<[any]>
Expected error message or error object.
## method: GenericAssertions.toThrowError
* since: v1.9
An alias for [`method: GenericAssertions.toThrow`].
**Usage**
```js
expect(() => {
throw new Error('Something bad');
}).toThrowError();
```
### param: GenericAssertions.toThrowError.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` ?<[any]>
Expected error message or error object.
## method: GenericAssertions.any
* since: v1.9
`expect.any()` matches any object instance created from the [`param: constructor`] or a corresponding primitive type. Use it inside [`method: GenericAssertions.toEqual`] to perform pattern matching.
**Usage**
```js
// Match instance of a class.
class Example {}
expect(new Example()).toEqual(expect.any(Example));
// Match any number.
expect({ prop: 1 }).toEqual({ prop: expect.any(Number) });
// Match any string.
expect('abc').toEqual(expect.any(String));
```
### param: GenericAssertions.any.constructor
* since: v1.9
- `constructor` <[Function]>
Constructor of the expected object like `ExampleClass`, or a primitive boxed type like `Number`.
## method: GenericAssertions.anything
* since: v1.9
`expect.anything()` matches everything except `null` and `undefined`. Use it inside [`method: GenericAssertions.toEqual`] to perform pattern matching.
**Usage**
```js
const value = { prop: 1 };
expect(value).toEqual({ prop: expect.anything() });
expect(value).not.toEqual({ otherProp: expect.anything() });
```
## method: GenericAssertions.arrayContaining
* since: v1.9
`expect.arrayContaining()` matches an array that contains all of the elements in the expected array, in any order. Note that received array may be a superset of the expected array and contain some extra elements.
Use this method inside [`method: GenericAssertions.toEqual`] to perform pattern matching.
**Usage**
```js
expect([1, 2, 3]).toEqual(expect.arrayContaining([3, 1]));
expect([1, 2, 3]).not.toEqual(expect.arrayContaining([1, 4]));
```
### param: GenericAssertions.arrayContaining.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[Array]<[any]>>
Expected array that is a subset of the received value.
## method: GenericAssertions.closeTo
* since: v1.9
Compares floating point numbers for approximate equality. Use this method inside [`method: GenericAssertions.toEqual`] to perform pattern matching. When just comparing two numbers, prefer [`method: GenericAssertions.toBeCloseTo`].
**Usage**
```js
expect({ prop: 0.1 + 0.2 }).not.toEqual({ prop: 0.3 });
expect({ prop: 0.1 + 0.2 }).toEqual({ prop: expect.closeTo(0.3, 5) });
```
### param: GenericAssertions.closeTo.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[float]>
Expected value.
### param: GenericAssertions.closeTo.numDigits
* since: v1.9
- `numDigits` ?<[int]>
The number of decimal digits after the decimal point that must be equal.
## method: GenericAssertions.objectContaining
* since: v1.9
`expect.objectContaining()` matches an object that contains and matches all of the properties in the expected object. Note that received object may be a superset of the expected object and contain some extra properties.
Use this method inside [`method: GenericAssertions.toEqual`] to perform pattern matching. Object properties can be matchers to further relax the expectation. See examples.
**Usage**
```js
// Assert some of the properties.
expect({ foo: 1, bar: 2 }).toEqual(expect.objectContaining({ foo: 1 }));
// Matchers can be used on the properties as well.
expect({ foo: 1, bar: 2 }).toEqual(expect.objectContaining({ bar: expect.any(Number) }));
// Complex matching of sub-properties.
expect({
list: [1, 2, 3],
obj: { prop: 'Hello world!', another: 'some other value' },
extra: 'extra',
}).toEqual(expect.objectContaining({
list: expect.arrayContaining([2, 3]),
obj: expect.objectContaining({ prop: expect.stringContaining('Hello') }),
}));
```
### param: GenericAssertions.objectContaining.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[Object]>
Expected object pattern that contains a subset of the properties.
## method: GenericAssertions.stringContaining
* since: v1.9
`expect.stringContaining()` matches a string that contains the expected substring. Use this method inside [`method: GenericAssertions.toEqual`] to perform pattern matching.
**Usage**
```js
expect('Hello world!').toEqual(expect.stringContaining('Hello'));
```
### param: GenericAssertions.stringContaining.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[string]>
Expected substring.
## method: GenericAssertions.stringMatching
* since: v1.9
`expect.stringMatching()` matches a received string that in turn matches the expected pattern. Use this method inside [`method: GenericAssertions.toEqual`] to perform pattern matching.
**Usage**
```js
expect('123ms').toEqual(expect.stringMatching(/\d+m?s/));
// Inside another matcher.
expect({
status: 'passed',
time: '123ms',
}).toEqual({
status: expect.stringMatching(/passed|failed/),
time: expect.stringMatching(/\d+m?s/),
});
```
### param: GenericAssertions.stringMatching.expected
* since: v1.9
- `expected` <[string]|[RegExp]>
Pattern that expected string should match.
