expect is not a function

[jcowgar]

I've installed lab and cannot run the examples because expect is missing. Did I miss a step somewhere?

$ npm install --save-dev lab
$ cat > test/example.test.js
const { expect, it } = exports.lab = require('lab').script();

it('returns true when 1 + 1 equals 2', () => {

    expect(1 + 1).to.equal(2);
});
$ lab
Failed tests:

  1) returns true when 1 + 1 equals 2:

      expect is not a function

expect() comes from the code assertion library, not lab itself. There was a brief time recently when they were bundled together, but now you need to install and require('code') to get it.

Yes, that worked, closing. I'll create a different ticket, maybe a pull request, to fix the getting started docs.
