about_Blade_Assertions SHORT DESCRIPTION A summary of all the assertions included with Blade. LONG DESCRIPTION Blade ships with the following assertions you can use in your tests: ## Assert-That The main Blade assertion is `Assert-That`. `Assert-That` makes your assertions read like sentences, e.g. Assert-That 'fubar' -Contains 'snafu' `Assert-That` can assert that: * A script block throws an exception (use the `-Throws` parameter) * A script block doesn't throw an exception (use the `-DoesNotThrowException` parameter) * An array, hashtable, collection, or string contains a value (use the `-Contains` parameter) * An array, hashtable, collection, or string doesn't contain a value (use the `-DoesNotContain` parameter) ## Other Assertions * `Assert-CEqual`: asserts that two strings are equal. Case sensitive. * `Assert-ContainsLike`: asserts that a list of items contains an item that matches a given wildcard pattern. * `Assert-ContainsNotLike`: asserts that a list of items *doesn't* contain an item that matches a wildcard pattern. * `Assert-DirectoryDoesNotExist`: asserts that a directory doesn't exist. * `Assert-DirectoryExists`: asserts that a directory exists. * `Assert-Empty`: asserts that an array, hashtable, collection, or string is empty. * `Assert-Equal`: asserts that two objects are equal. * `Assert-Error`: asserts that there is an error in the `$Error` variable. * `Assert-False`: asserts that a value is `$false`. * `Assert-FileContains`: asserts that a file contains a string. * `Assert-FileDoesNotContain`: asserts that a file doesn't contain a string. * `Assert-FileDoesNotExist`: asserts that a file doesn't exist. * `Assert-FileExists`: asserts that a file exists. * `Assert-GreaterThan`: asserts that a number is greater than another number. * `Assert-Is`: asserts that an object is of a given type. * `Assert-LastProcessFailed`: asserts that `$LastExitCode` is non-zero. * `Assert-LastProcessSucceeded`: asserts that `$LastExitCode` is zero. * `Assert-LessThan`: asserts that a number is less than another number. * `Assert-Like`: asserts that a string matches a wildcard pattern. * `Assert-Match`: asserts that a string matches a regular expression. * `Assert-NodeDoesNotExist`: asserts that an XML document does not contain a node. * `Assert-NodeExists`: asserts that an XML document contains a node. * `Assert-NoError`: asserts there are no errors in `$Error`. * `Assert-NotEmpty`: asserts that an array, hashtable, collection, or string isn't empty. * `Assert-NotEqual`: asserts that two objects aren't equal. * `Assert-NotNull`: asserts that an object isn't null. * `Assert-Null`: asserts that an object is null. * `Assert-True`: asserts that a value is `$true`. |
