Description

As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on Repl.it, or cloned from GitHub.

strictEqual() compares objects using ===.

Instructions

Within tests/1_unit-tests.js under the test labelled #6 in the Equality suite, change each assert to either assert.strictEqual or assert.notStrictEqual to make the test pass (should evaluate to true). Do not alter the arguments passed to the asserts.

Tests

tests:
  - text: All tests should pass.
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=5').then(data => {assert.equal(data.state,'passed'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should choose the correct method for the first assertion - `strictEqual` vs. `notStrictEqual`.
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=5').then(data => {  assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, 'notStrictEqual', 'with strictEqual the type must match'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should choose the correct method for the second assertion - `strictEqual` vs. `notStrictEqual`.
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=5').then(data => {  assert.equal(data.assertions[1].method, 'strictEqual', '3*2 = 6...'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should choose the correct method for the third assertion - `strictEqual` vs. `notStrictEqual`.
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=5').then(data => {  assert.equal(data.assertions[2].method, 'strictEqual', '6 * \'2\' is 12. Types match !'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should choose the correct method for the fourth assertion - `strictEqual` vs. `notStrictEqual`.
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=5').then(data => {  assert.equal(data.assertions[3].method, 'notStrictEqual', 'Even if they have the same elements, the Arrays are notStrictEqual'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
