toBe()
The toBe() method asserts that the actual value is exactly equal to the expected value using Object.is() comparison.
Syntax
JavaScript
expect(actual).toBe(expected);
expect(actual).not.toBe(expected);Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| expected | any | The expected value |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| void | No return value |
Description
The toBe() method performs exact equality comparison using Object.is(). This means it checks for strict equality and handles special cases like NaN and -0 correctly.
Use toBe() when you want to assert that two values are the same reference or primitive value. For object comparison, use toEqual() instead.
Usage
JavaScript
import { expect } from 'https://jslib.k6.io/k6-testing/0.6.1/index.js';
export default function () {
expect(42).toBe(42);
expect('hello').toBe('hello');
expect(true).toBe(true);
expect(null).toBe(null);
expect(undefined).toBe(undefined);
