To add a collaborator to this project you will need to use the Relish gem to add the collaborator via a terminal command. Soon you'll be able to also add collaborators here!
More about adding a collaborator`match` matcher
The match matcher calls #match
on the object, passing if #match
returns a truthy (not
false
or nil
) value. Regexp and String both provide a #match
method.
expect("a string").to match(/str/) # passes
expect("a string").to match(/foo/) # fails
expect(/foo/).to match("food") # passes
expect(/foo/).to match("drinks") # fails
You can also use this matcher to match nested data structures when composing matchers.
- Scenarios
-
- string usage
-
- Given
-
a file named "string_match_spec.rb" with:
RSpec.describe "a string" do it { is_expected.to match(/str/) } it { is_expected.not_to match(/foo/) } # deliberate failures it { is_expected.not_to match(/str/) } it { is_expected.to match(/foo/) } end
- When
-
I run
rspec string_match_spec.rb
- Then
-
the output should contain all of these:
4 examples, 2 failures expected "a string" not to match /str/ expected "a string" to match /foo/
- regular expression usage
-
- Given
-
a file named "regexp_match_spec.rb" with:
RSpec.describe /foo/ do it { is_expected.to match("food") } it { is_expected.not_to match("drinks") } # deliberate failures it { is_expected.not_to match("food") } it { is_expected.to match("drinks") } end
- When
-
I run
rspec regexp_match_spec.rb
