[nidkil]

Hi Sergii,

Do you have any suggestions how to go about unit testing the defined abilities?

Here's an example in an app of mine: https://github.com/tahosalodge/unitelections-backend/blob/master/src/modules/user/__tests__/roles.ts

You can also take a look at:

• https://github.com/stalniy/casl/blob/master/packages/casl-ability/spec/ability.spec.js#L86
• https://github.com/stalniy/casl/blob/master/packages/casl-ability/spec/ability.spec.js#L214

I used custom chai assertion which is defined in https://github.com/stalniy/casl/blob/master/packages/casl-ability/spec/spec_helper.js#L6

To be more expressive

close in favor of #145
