expect()

expect is a wrapper of check to provide BDD style of assertions in k6. It implements the Chai Expect API:

JavaScript
import http from 'k6/http';
import { describe, expect } from 'https://jslib.k6.io/k6chaijs/4.3.4.3/index.js';

export default function () {
  describe('Basic test', () => {
    expect({ a: 1 }).to.not.have.property('b');
    expect(2).to.equal(2);
    expect({ a: 1 }).to.deep.equal({ a: 1 });
    expect({ a: { b: ['x', 'y'] } }).to.have.nested.property('a.b[1]');
    expect({ a: 1 }).to.have.own.property('a');
    expect([1, 2]).to.have.ordered.members([1, 2]).but.not.have.ordered.members([2, 1]);
    expect({ a: 1, b: 2 }).to.not.have.any.keys('c', 'd');
    expect({ a: 1, b: 2 }).to.have.all.keys('a', 'b');
    expect('foo').to.be.a('string');
    expect([1, 2, 3]).to.be.an('array').that.includes(2);
    expect('foobar').to.include('foo');
    expect(1).to.equal(1);
    expect(true).to.be.true;
    expect(false).to.be.false;
    expect(null).to.be.null;
    expect(undefined).to.be.undefined;
    expect(NaN).to.be.NaN;
    expect(1).to.equal(1);
    expect([]).to.be.empty;
    expect({}).not.to.be.arguments;
    expect(1).to.equal(1);
    expect({ a: 1 }).to.eql({ a: 1 }).but.not.equal({ a: 1 });
    expect('foo').to.have.lengthOf(3);
    expect(2).to.equal(2);
    expect(1).to.equal(1);
    expect(2).to.be.at.most(3);
    expect(2).to.equal(2);
    expect({ a: 1 }).to.not.be.an.instanceof(Array);
    expect({ a: 1 }).to.have.property('a');
    expect([1, 2, 3]).to.have.lengthOf(3);
    expect('foobar').to.match(/^foo/);
    expect('foobar').to.have.string('bar');
    expect({ a: 1, b: 2 }).to.have.all.keys('a', 'b');
    const badFn = function () {
      throw new TypeError('Illegal salmon!');
    };
    expect(badFn).to.throw();
    expect(1).to.satisfy(function (num) {
      return num > 0;
    });
    expect(1.5).to.equal(1.5);
    expect([1, 2, 3]).to.have.members([2, 1, 3]);
    expect('Today is sunny').to.contain.oneOf(['sunny', 'cloudy']);
    expect({ a: 1 }).to.be.extensible;
    expect(1).to.be.finite;
  });
}

When you run this test with k6 run script.js, the output at the end of the test shows:

bash
default ✓ [======================================] 1 VUs  00m00.0s/10m0s  1/1 iters, 1 per VU
