Frisby expectJSON containing unordered list

Question

Suppose the following JSON is expected as part of a Frisby test:

{
    array: ["1", "2", "3"]
}

The array of strings may return in any order, say ["3", "1", "2"].

How can I expect the above defined array without expecting an order?

I have tried

.expectJSON('array.?', "1")
.expectJSON('array.?', "2")
.expectJSON('array.?', "3")

but this is not valid syntax and the following error occurs:

 TypeError: Expected valid JavaScript object to be given, got undefined

Answer 1

I went into the same problem, and finally figure this out. Using .afterJSON(), you will be able to use Jasmine's expect-syntax to do all the validation you want on the JSON object.

For your example, the script will look like this:

    .afterJSON(function(json){
        expect(json.array).toContain('1');
        expect(json.array).toContain('2');
        expect(json.array).toContain('3');
    })
