Compare string parameter with toHaveBeenCalledWith(regexp)

[brabadu]

Hi!

I couldn't find a way to check a string that was passed to a function with toHaveBeenCalledWith, using a regexp.

In particular, I'm passing URL with timestamp, and I'd like to validate it with something like

In code I have:

GET('/post?' + (new Date()).getTime())

In test want to do something like:

expect(GET).toHaveBeenCalledWith(/\/post?\d+/)

Is there any way to do this or, at least, check a string argument with regexp?

I am not sure whether @pivotal will see this issue, but in the meantime, you may use Spy#mostRecentCall.args in combination with the Matchers#toMatch regexp matcher to accomplish this.

I have created a stackoverflow question about this.

Would something like this be OK:

expect(GET).toHaveBeenCalledWith(jasmine.regExp(/foobar/)); ?

Using something like jasmine.any here makes things simpler at implementation time.
