Expect, a lightweight assertion library designed to enhance JavaScript testing, saw a minor version update from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 on November 13, 2014. Both versions, authored by Michael Jackson, share the core purpose of enabling developers to write more expressive and readable assertions in their tests. The package, licensed under the MIT license, encourages contributions and is available on GitHub.
The fundamental functionality—writing better assertions as described—remains consistent. Both versions rely on Mocha (~1.17.1) as a development dependency, implying that tests written for expect are likely designed to be executed within the Mocha testing framework. The repository URL for both versions is the same, suggesting this is not a major refactoring or a rewrite, but rather a minor bump to the existing software. Functionality is shared between versions, meaning migration should be easy.
While the core "write better assertions" promise persists, the key difference lies in versioning which indicates a potential fix or enhancement. The timestamp difference of approximately 3 minutes between the release dates hints at a quick iterative improvement. For developers considering either version, the upgrade from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 is likely a low-risk, potentially beneficial move considering the quick release. Developers should ensure compatibility with their existing test suite to guarantee smooth adoption.
