Web3.js: web3.eth.contract is not a function

[jesuprakash]

Getting this when I am using 1.0.0-beta.18

during
var contract = web3.eth.contract(ABI).at(contractAddress);

The API changed. This would work:

var contract = new web3.eth.Contract(abi, contractAddress)

Refer to the docs: http://web3js.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/web3-eth-contract.html#new-contract

If the API changed, then why are the tests still using it in tests?

https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js/blob/62dd77c7f43522eb568a001cf4c4df726f8efa69/test/web3.eth.contract.js#L29
