Jasmine.js comparing arrays

rated 0 times [ 85] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 120008 / 11 Years ago, sat, march 30, 2013, 12:00:00

Is there a way in jasmine.js to check if two arrays are equal, for example:

arr = [1, 2, 3]

expect(arr).toBe([1, 2, 3])

expect(arr).toEqual([1, 2, 3])

Neither seems to work.

Just did the test and it works with toEqual

please find my test:

http://jsfiddle.net/7q9N7/3/

describe('toEqual', function() {

    it('passes if arrays are equal', function() {

        var arr = [1, 2, 3];

        expect(arr).toEqual([1, 2, 3]);

    });

});

Just for information:

toBe() versus toEqual(): toEqual() checks equivalence. toBe(), on the
other hand, makes sure that they're the exact same object.
