Console Tests

You can test what has been output to standard console during Masonite unit tests thanks to useful console assertions.
Output here is the standard output often named stdout. Error here is the standard error often named stderr.
External packages, prints in your code can output content in console (as output or error).
If you want to assert content output by a Masonite command you should use Commands Tests assertions instead.
Available Assertions
The following assertions are available:
​assertConsoleEmpty​
​assertConsoleNotEmpty​
​assertConsoleExactOutput​
​assertConsoleOutputContains​
​assertConsoleOutputMissing​
​assertConsoleHasErrors​
​assertConsoleExactError​
​assertConsoleErrorContains​
assertConsoleEmpty
Assert that nothing has been printed to the console.
assertConsoleNotEmpty
Assert that something has been printed to the console (output or error).
assertConsoleExactOutput
Assert that console standard output is equal to given output.
print("Success !")
self.assertConsoleExactOutput("Success !\n")
assertConsoleOutputContains
Assert that console standard output contains given output.
print("Success !")
self.assertConsoleOutputContains("Success")
assertConsoleOutputMissing
Assert that console standard output does not contain the given output.
print("Success !")
self.assertConsoleOutputMissing("hello")
assertConsoleHasErrors
Assert that something has been output to console standard error.
assertConsoleExactError
Assert that console standard error is equal to given error.
print("An error occured !", file=sys.stderr)
self.assertConsoleExactError("An error occured !\n")
