TypeError: expect(…).to.be is not a function

问题

I am configuring my Karma amd mocha framework with grunt in my project. When I am running karma start I am getting below-mentioned error.

I am getting this error in my console while running command : Karma start

TypeError: expect(...).to.be is not a function

}

My array.js test

// var expect = require('chai').expect;

describe("Mocha: The 'toBe' matcher compares with ===", function() {
  it("and has a positive case", function() {
    expect(true).to.be(true);
  });

  it("and can have a negative case", function() {
    expect(false).not.to.be(true);
  });
});

Please suggest what I am missing.

You need to write expect(true).to.be.equal(true) the be is a chain (object) not a function. Or you could write:

expect(true).to.be.true;
expect(false).to.be.false;
