+Nightwatch provides a fluent BDD-style interface for performing assertions on values and elements with the expect namespace on the main Nightwatch instance. It is based on the Chai Expect assertion library and provides a greater level of flexibility, also adding new capabilities over the classic assert interface. It uses a chain-able language to construct assertions given a value or element.
-It uses a chain-able language to construct assertions given an element specified by a css/xpath selector. A simple example looks like the following:
+As you would expect (pun intended) from Chai, you can use it to check text values directly:
+
+test('delete node from search and ensure it is gone', function(browser) {
+ browser
+ .assert.textContains(`${targetNodeSelector} #nodeContent`, targetNodeContent)
+ .click({ selector: `${targetNodeSelector} #moreOptionsButton`, index: 0 })
+ .click({ selector: `${targetNodeSelector} #nodeDeleteButton`, index: 0 })
+ .click({ selector: `${targetNodeSelector} #confirmNodeDeleteButton`, index: 0 })
+ .findElements(`${targetNodeSelector} #nodeCard #nodeContent`, nodeContents => {
+ nodeContents.value.forEach(item => {
+ browser.elementIdText(item.getId(), text => browser.expect(text.value).to.not.equal(targetNodeContent))
+ })
+ })
+};this.demoTest = function (browser) {
