Mocha,should.js和断言异常

我有一个文件app.coffee

class TaskList

class Task
    constructor: (@name) ->
        @status = 'incomplete'
    complete: ->
        if @parent? and @parent.status isnt 'completed'
          throw "Dependent task '#{@parent.name}' is not completed."
        @status = 'complete'
        true
    dependsOn: (@parent) ->
        @parent.child = @
        @status = 'dependent'

# Prepare scope stuff
root = exports ? window
root.TaskList = TaskList
root.Task = Task

和一个名为test/taskTest.coffee的文件:

{TaskList, Task} = require '../app'
should = require 'should'

describe 'Task Instance', ->
    task1 = task2 = null
    it 'should have a name', ->
        something = 'asdf'
        something.should.equal 'asdf'
        task1 = new Task 'feed the cat'
        task1.name.should.equal 'feed the cat'
    it 'should be initially incomplete', ->
        task1.status.should.equal 'incomplete'
    it 'should be able to be completed', ->
        task1.complete().should.be.true
        task1.status.should.equal 'complete'
    it 'should be able to be dependent on another task', ->
        task1 = new Task 'wash dishes'
        task2 = new Task 'dry dishes'
        task2.dependsOn task1
        task2.status.should.equal 'dependent'
        task2.parent.should.equal task1
        task1.child.should.equal task2
    it 'should refuse completion it is dependent on an uncompleted task', ->
        (-> task2.complete()).should.throw "Dependent task 'wash dishes' is not completed."

如果我在终端中运行此命令:mocha -r should --compilers coffee:coffee-script -R spec我有一个失败的测试(最后一个),说它期待一个异常“依赖任务'洗碗'没有完成。”但得到了'未定义'。

如果我通过删除括号将(-> task2.complete()).should.throw更改为-> task2.complete().should.throw,则测试通过,如果我不抛出异常则失败。但是,如果我将异常消息更改为随机的消息,它仍然会通过。难道我做错了什么?如果消息字面意思是“依赖任务'洗碗'没有完成,那么测试不应该通过。”

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:4)

您正在使用字符串抛出异常而不是抛出错误对象。 throw()寻找后者。因此,如果你这样做,你的原始代码就可以了:

throw new Error "Dependent task '#{@parent.name}' is not completed."

如果您在CoffeeScript中编写的内容产生无意义的结果,请尝试将其编译为js(或将代码粘贴到try CoffeeScript中。您将看到:

-> task2.complete().should.throw "Dependent task 'wash dishes' is not completed."

汇编为:

(function() {
  return task2.complete().should["throw"]("Dependent task 'wash dishes' is not completed.");
});

它只定义一个函数而不执行它。这解释了为什么更改字符串没有区别。我希望有所帮助。

答案 1 :(得分:3)

首先,这是一些好看的Coffeescript。

其次,大卫韦尔登的回答是正确的,你可以改变投掷以实际抛出错误并且有效。

这是你的代码放入一个长文件中,只更改了throw。

class TaskList

class Task
    constructor: (@name) ->
        @status = 'incomplete'
    complete: ->
        if @parent? and @parent.status isnt 'completed'
          throw new Error "Dependent task '#{@parent.name}' is not completed."
        @status = 'complete'
        true
    dependsOn: (@parent) ->
        @parent.child = @
        @status = 'dependent'

# Prepare scope stuff
root = exports ? window
root.TaskList = TaskList
root.Task = Task

should = require 'should'

describe 'Task Instance', ->
    task1 = task2 = null
    it 'should have a name', ->
        something = 'asdf'
        something.should.equal 'asdf'
        task1 = new Task 'feed the cat'
        task1.name.should.equal 'feed the cat'
    it 'should be initially incomplete', ->
        task1.status.should.equal 'incomplete'
    it 'should be able to be completed', ->
        task1.complete().should.be.true
        task1.status.should.equal 'complete'
    it 'should be able to be dependent on another task', ->
        task1 = new Task 'wash dishes'
        task2 = new Task 'dry dishes'
        task2.dependsOn task1
        task2.status.should.equal 'dependent'
        task2.parent.should.equal task1
        task1.child.should.equal task2
    it 'should refuse completion it is dependent on an uncompleted task', ->
        (-> task2.complete()).should.throw "Dependent task 'wash dishes' is not completed."
摩卡这个混蛋,你很高兴。
