For expect, .equal will compare objects rather than their data, and in your case it is two different arrays. Use .eql in order to deeply compare values. Check out this link. Or you could use .deep.equal in order to simulate same as .eql. Or in your case you might want to check .members. For asserts … Read more

But to test whether something is thrown, you have to pass a … Read more
