Description

As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on Repl.it, or cloned from GitHub.

Instructions

Use assert.isArray() or assert.isNotArray() to make the tests pass.

Tests

tests:
  - text: All tests should pass.
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=10').then(data => {assert.equal(data.state,'passed'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should choose the right assertion - isArray vs. isNotArray.
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=10').then(data => {  assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, 'isArray', 'String.prototype.split() returns an Array'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should choose the right assertion - isArray vs. isNotArray.
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=10').then(data => {  assert.equal(data.assertions[1].method, 'isNotArray', 'Array.prototype.indexOf() returns a number'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
