externalErrorBlock <NET>

Interaction object representing an error display block in the scenario detail view.

Shows the error name (type), message, and stack trace for a failed scenario. Obtained via ScenarioDetailView.errorBlock — not instantiated directly in tests.

const errorBlock = scenarioDetailView.errorBlock();

Usage in a test

await actor.attemptsTo(
  Ensure.that(scenarioDetailView.hasError(), equals(true)),
  Ensure.that(scenarioDetailView.errorBlock().name(), equals('AssertionError')),
  Ensure.that(scenarioDetailView.errorBlock().message(), includes('expected true to equal false')),
  Ensure.that(scenarioDetailView.errorBlock().stackTrace(), includes('checkout.spec.ts')),
);

  Type parameters

  • NET

  Parameters

  • externalrootElement: PageElement<NET> | QuestionAdapter<PageElement<NET>>

  • externaloptionaloptions: InteractionObjectOptions

  Returns ErrorBlock<NET>

Methods

externalisPresent

• isPresent(): Answerable<boolean>

• Inherited from InteractionObject.isPresent

  Checks whether the interaction object's root element is present in the DOM.

  Since InteractionObject implements Optional, you can assert on presence directly:

  Ensure.that(view, isPresent())

  ---

  Returns Answerable<boolean>

externalname

• name(): QuestionAdapter<string>

• The error type/class name (e.g. 'AssertionError', 'TimeoutError').

  Example

  Ensure.that(errorBlock.name(), equals('AssertionError'))

  ---

  Returns QuestionAdapter<string>

externalmessage

• message(): QuestionAdapter<string>

• The error message text.

  Example

  Ensure.that(errorBlock.message(), includes('expected true to equal false'))

  ---

  Returns QuestionAdapter<string>

externalstackTrace

• stackTrace(): QuestionAdapter<string>

• The full stack trace text rendered in the error block.

  Example

  Ensure.that(errorBlock.stackTrace(), includes('checkout.spec.ts:42'))

  ---

  Returns QuestionAdapter<string>

externalhasLocation

• hasLocation(): Question<Promise<boolean>>

• Whether the error block displays a source location with a copy affordance.

  Example

  Ensure.that(errorBlock.hasLocation(), equals(true))

  ---

  Returns Question<Promise<boolean>>
