step( [ message ] )

A marker for progress in a given test.

Description

The step() assertion registers a passing assertion with a provided message. This makes it easy to check that specific portions of code are being executed, especially in asynchronous test cases and when used with verifySteps(). A step will always pass unless a message is not provided or is a non-string value.

Together with the verifySteps() method, step() assertions give you an easy way to verify both the count and order of code execution.

Example

QUnit.test( "step test", function( assert ) {
  assert.expect( 1 );
  obj.hook = function() {
    assert.step('Hook is called!');
  };
  obj.invokeHookIndirectly();
});

Note: See the verifySteps entry for more detailed examples.
