toEqual() not show expectationFailOutput in console log

[rebajz]

fit('some text', async() => {
let components = element.all(by.xpath('//button'));

    await browser.get('http://localhost:3339/buttonpage');
    expect(await components.count()).toEqual((19), 'some text for fail ' + await components.count());
});

in console is visible only:

• Expected 20 to equal 19.

for example toBe() show correctly fail message

@rebajz you should use the withContext method:

await browser.get('http://localhost:3339/buttonpage');
expect(await components.count())
.withContext('some text for fail ' + await components.count())
.toEqual(19);

Failure output is not supported for toEqual method. Please see docs.

In fact, none of Jasmine's matchers officially support the extra argument (expectationFailOutput in community types), but many of them happen to also print that out because of the laxness of how default failure messages are generated.

Closing this.
