Jest log message on assertion failure using test.each










0














I am trying to log a URL on test failure. I am using test.each(testData) where testData will pass an object with a url property for each test run.



On assertion failure, I'd like to log out the url that failed the test but I am finding it surprisingly difficult to do.



Is this even possible? Passing an argument to an assertion like this: expect(metaTag).not.toBeFalsy('url goes here'); won't work. Nor will throwing an Error. Nor will changing the title of each generated test (with test.each) as at the time of title definition, I don't have access to the url.

          I ended up using: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jest-expect-message



          npm i -D jest-expect-message



          Add this to package.json:



           "jest": 
          "setupTestFrameworkScriptFile": "jest-expect-message"
          ,


          Use:



           expect(
          metaTag,
          `Could not find metaTag with selector $robotsMetaTagSelector for url $url`
          ).not.toBeFalsy();


          If anyone knows of a better or in-built solution - that would be a better answer.
