How can I test that a value is "greater than or equal to" in Jasmine?


I figured I should update this since the API has changed in newer versions of Jasmine. The Jasmine API now has built in functions for:

  • toBeGreaterThanOrEqual
  • toBeLessThanOrEqual

You should use these functions in preference to the advice below.

I know that this is an old and solved question, but I noticed that a fairly neat solution was missed. Since greater than or equal to is the inverse of the less than function, Try:

expect(percent).not.toBeLessThan(0);

In this approach, the value of percent can be returned by an async function and processed as a part of the control flow.


You just need to run the comparison operation first, and then check if it's truthy.

describe('percent',function(){  it('should be a decimal',function(){    var percent = insights.percent;    expect(percent >= 0).toBeTruthy();    expect(percent).toBeLessThan(1);  });   });


The current version of Jasmine supports toBeGreaterThan and toBeLessThan.

expect(myVariable).toBeGreaterThan(0);
