Please help with simple test case in jasmine

Question

I am stuck with jasmine. I read/youtubed/googled but seems like I am on the wrong track.

Here is what I have so far. I've used protractor --elementExplorer to pull items from http://www.angular.io:

> element.all(by.css('.nav-link')).getText()
[ '', 'FEATURES', 'DOCS', 'RESOURCES', 'EVENTS', 'BLOG' ]

Here is my test:

import { ElementFinder, browser, by, element } from 'protractor';

describe('angulario homepage verify list', function () { //Suite in Jasmine
    it('should check top 5 link buttons', function () { // Test in Jasmine
        browser.get('https://angular.io'); // Entering application url in browser
        element.all(by.css('.nav-link')).getText()); {
            //expect statement goes here
        });
    });
});

i am trying to ensure 5 links on the center top are present and it appears the elementExplorer return an Array... How do i use it to create my locator and expect statements?

Answer 1

You may just use expect() and toEqual() matcher:

browser.get('https://angular.io'); 
expect(element.all(by.css('.nav-link')).getText()).toEqual([
    '', 'FEATURES', 'DOCS', 'RESOURCES', 'EVENTS', 'BLOG' 
]);
