Expect, a core assertion library used extensively within the Jest testing framework, has two recent versions, 29.0.1 and the slightly newer 29.0.2. While both versions serve the same fundamental purpose – providing the expect function for writing clear and concise tests – some subtle differences lie in their dependencies and release timelines.
Version 29.0.2, released on September 3, 2022, incorporates updates to several key dependencies: jest-util, jest-message-util, @jest/expect-utils, jest-matcher-utils and @jest/test-utils all bumped up to 29.0.2. This suggests potential bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features within these underlying utilities that Expect now leverages. Additionally, the @tsd/typescript dev dependency has been updated to ~4.8.2. This upgrade likely contributes to improved type checking and codebase maintainability during the development process of Expect itself..
In contrast, version 29.0.1, released on August 26, 2022, uses the 29.0.1 version of the jest-util, jest-message-util, @jest/expect-utils, jest-matcher-utils and @jest/test-utils packages and the @tsd/typescript version is ~4.7.4. For developers, the upgrade to 29.0.2 means benefiting from the latest refinements in Jest's ecosystem, potentially leading to slightly more robust and reliable assertions in their test suites. The core functionality remains consistent – allowing developers to assert on expected values within their code – but the underlying improvements could offer subtle advantages. Both versions maintain the same unpacked size, file count, MIT license, and repository location.
