Nightwatch: Assert on values

[brownad]

How can we can perform negative assertions on values in the framework?

So we take "foo" then compare to "bar" expecting it to NOT match (which is correct) and fail if it does match? Is there a straightforward way to doing this?

assert.notEqual maybe?

The node.js assert module is available within nightwatch:
http://nodejs.org/api/assert.html

Thanks

Just looked if I could invert "assert.containsText" - with assert.notEqual. Probably not?

If so, then I think i could contribute to separate notContainsText / attributeNotEquals :-)
Could you please confirm @beatfactor ?

@vinogradoff You can just invert the condition inside those two commands in
the pass method. If you will contribute, please add tests also and api
docs. Thanks.

Worth re-opening this as the fix sounds a lot better than the assert.NotEqual (only throws an error)

:+1:
Although there is a possible solution i think it may be a good spot for a refactoring to provide a clean, consistent and _testable_ _api_ in the long run.
What do you think ?

so what's the issue on hand here? it's not very clear anymore what needs to be done.

[vinogradoff]

I would be happy to contribute, but I have only the next week some free time.
If it’s okay, just let it open, I try to do new methods.

done.

Note: attributeNotEquals - passes, if attribute does not exist, but the element does.
I did it so, because attributeEquals just don't pass, but without error, if attribute doesn't exist.
So I thought, they must be complement. (attributeNotEquals always negate of attributeEquals).

Hiya,

Not sure the documentation was added for this, is that correct?
