Writes an error message to the console if the assertion is false
. Otherwise, if the assertion is true
, this does nothing.
console.assert('one' === 1);
Multiple arguments can be provided after the assertion–these can be strings or other objects–that will only be printed if the assertion is false
:
console.assert
does not throw an AssertionError
(except in Node.js), meaning that this method is incompatible with most testing frameworks and that code execution will not break on a failed assertion.
