notOk( state, message = "" )

A boolean check that passes when the first argument is falsy.

name	description
state	Expression being tested
message (string)	Optional description

If the argument is false or casts to false, the assertion passes; otherwise, it fails.

To strictly compare against boolean false, use assert.false().

Examples

QUnit.test('example', function (assert) {
  // success
  assert.notOk(false, 'boolean false');
  assert.notOk('', 'empty string');
  assert.notOk(0, 'number zero');
  assert.notOk(NaN, 'NaN value');
  assert.notOk(null, 'null value');
  assert.notOk(undefined, 'undefined value');

  // failure
  assert.notOk('foo', 'non-empty string');
  assert.notOk(true, 'boolean true');
  assert.notOk(1, 'number one');
});
