Expect, a crucial component of the Jest testing framework, provides the expect function that allows developers to write expressive and readable assertions in their tests. Comparing versions 25.4.0 and 25.3.0 reveals subtle but important differences. Both versions maintain the core functionality of providing assertion capabilities and link to the Jest documentation for usage guidelines.
However, the dependency upgrades between the two versions are key. Version 25.4.0 updates @jest/types, jest-message-util, and jest-matcher-utils to version 25.4.0, aligning them consistently. In contrast, version 25.3.0 uses version 25.3.0 for the same dependencies. This suggests potential bug fixes and improvements within the Jest ecosystem being propagated into the expect package. The developer dependencies remain consistent between both versions, with chalk, immutable, fast-check and @jest/test-utils staying the same version.
Furthermore, the dist object highlights differences in the package structure. Version 25.4.0 has a smaller fileCount of 41 and a slightly smaller unpackedSize of 2035554 compared to version 25.3.0, which contains 53 files and an unpacked size of 2056970. This suggests internal optimization, perhaps related to tree shaking or code cleanup contributing to a leaner package size. Developers should prioritize version 25.4.0 for updated dependencies and a smaller installation footprint and potential bug fixes. The release dates indicate a short turnaround (less than 2 weeks), indicating the continuous improvements of its dependencies.
