    Hierarchy

    Index

    Constructors

    • Parameters

      • Optionaloptions: {
            message?: string;
            actual?: unknown;
            expected?: unknown;
            operator?: string;
            stackStartFn?: Function;
        }

        Options passed to NodeAssertionError's constructor

        • Optionalmessage?: string

          If provided, the error message is set to this value.

        • Optionalactual?: unknown

          The actual property on the error instance.

        • Optionalexpected?: unknown

          The expected property on the error instance.

        • Optionaloperator?: string

          The operator property on the error instance.

        • OptionalstackStartFn?: Function

          If provided, the generated stack trace omits frames before this function.

      Returns AssertionError

    Properties

    stackTraceLimit: number

    The Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)).

    The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.

    If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.

    name: string = 'AssertionError'
    actual: unknown

    Set to the actual argument for methods such as ().

    expected: unknown

    Set to the expected argument for methods such as ().

    operator: string

    Set to the passed in operator value.

    generatedMessage: boolean

    Indicates if the message was auto-generated (true) or not.

    code: "ERR_ASSERTION"

    Value is always ERR_ASSERTION to show that the error is an assertion error.

    message: string
    stack?: string
    cause?: unknown

    Methods

    • Type guard for an instance of this error.

      Parameters

      • value: unknown

        Some value

      Returns value is AssertionError

      true if value is an instance of AssertionError

    • Indicates whether the argument provided is a built-in Error instance or not.

      Parameters

      • error: unknown

      Returns error is Error

    • Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

      const myObject = {};
      Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
      myObject.stack; // Similar to `new Error().stack`

      The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

      The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

      The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

      function a() {
      b();
      }

      function b() {
      c();
      }

      function c() {
      // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
      const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
      Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
      const error = new Error();
      Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

      // Capture the stack trace above function b
      Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
      throw error;
      }

      a();

      Parameters

      • targetObject: object
      • OptionalconstructorOpt: Function

      Returns void
