# cypress-expect-n-assertions [![renovate-app badge][renovate-badge]][renovate-app] [![ci](https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-expect-n-assertions/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://github.com/bahmutov/cypress-expect-n-assertions/actions/workflows/ci.yml) ![cypress version](https://img.shields.io/badge/cypress-12.17.0-brightgreen)
> Cypress helper that checks number of expected and actual assertions in the test

## Example

```js
const {plan} = require('cypress-expect-n-assertions')
it('has 2 expects', () => {
plan(2)
expect(1, 'one').to.equal(1)
expect(2, 'two').to.equal(2)
})
```

If the test for some reason runs a different number of assertions, the test will fail using `afterEach` hook. Same test, but with a wrong `plan` argument generates a failure

```js
const {plan} = require('cypress-expect-n-assertions')
it('has 2 expects', () => {
plan(1) // wrong value on purpose
expect(1, 'one').to.equal(1)
expect(2, 'two').to.equal(2)
})
```

![Failed test](images/plan.png)

The `afterEach` hook used in this module **will automatically wait** if the number of assertions is below the plan. For example, the following test executes the second assertion asynchronously after 2 second delay

```js
it('has async assertion, will wait automatically', () => {
plan(2)
expect(1, 'one').to.equal(1)
setTimeout(() => {
expect(2, 'two').to.equal(2)
}, 2000)
})
```

The video below shows how the test automatically waits (up to `defaultCommandTimeout`) for the "missing" assertion to happen.

## Limitations

To avoid multiple mocking of `expect`, for now you can only run individual spec files. Do not use "Run all specs" button.
