expect(...) not failing the tests in Jasmine when Error thrown
I am running the Jasmine Test Explorer in VSC with SuperTest 6.1.3. When I run this test it passes, even though internally it seems to know it should not.
describe("When throwing an unknown Error from a controller", () => {
it('our router\'s error handling middleware will handle it correctly', function(done) {
// Setup Route
const app = express();
app.get('/example',
(request: Request, response: Response)=>{
throw new Error("Test");
}); // Middleware removed for this error report
// Test
request(app)
.get('/example')
.expect(111) // This
.end(function(res){
done();
});
// The Body will contain verbose amounts of html formatted information.
// If you do not want that, update the error handler.
});
});
When I run it from command line using jasmine-ts, the test passes but I get an error dump:

I expected SuperTest to catch my error and fail the test stating that 111 does not equal the expected 500 status code.
