Sorry if this is obvious, but is there a notOK or equivalent function in QUnit, if we want to assert that a method returns false?
I can't see a way to negate OK in the documentation.
I tried:
!ok...
but that didn't work.

You could use: ok(!method_expected_to_be_false)
According to the documentation :
The most basic assertion in QUnit, ok() requires just one argument. If the argument evaluates to true, the assertion passes; otherwise, it fails.
You can verify that a method return a false value by writing an expression which evaluates to a true
value in the case the method returns false
, and vice versa. The easiest expression to do this is the NOT operator, which in JavaScript is expressed through !
test( "Test method returns false ", function() {
ok( method() == false, "Method returned false" );
// or using a the negation operator
ok( !method(), "Method returned false" );
});
The better approach would be to use:
notOk(<something>);
as it will be more expressive than stating:
ok(!<something>);
starting from qunit 1.18 there is a dedicated function:
assert.notOk(valueToBeTested);
If this is something you really, really want, you can add it with QUnit.extend()
:
QUnit.extend(QUnit.assert, {
notOk: function (result, message) {
message = message || (!result ? "okay" : "failed, expected argument to be falsey, was: " +
QUnit.dump.parse(result));
QUnit.push(!result, result, false, message);
},
});
