Description

As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on Repl.it, or cloned from GitHub. deepEqual() asserts that two object are deep equal.

Instructions

Use assert.deepEqual() or assert.notDeepEqual() to make the tests pass.

Tests

tests:
  - text: All tests should pass.
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=6').then(data => {assert.equal(data.state,'passed'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should choose the right assertion - deepEqual vs. notDeepEqual.
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=6').then(data => {  assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, 'deepEqual', 'The order of the keys does not matter'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should choose the right assertion - deepEqual vs. notDeepEqual.
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=6').then(data => {  assert.equal(data.assertions[1].method, 'notDeepEqual', 'The position of elements within an array does matter'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
