.expect('jsonTypes', 'records.*', {}) does not allow an empty array

[kenjiuno]

I can obtain record list (in JSON) from server.
jsonTypes handler passes if record list is filled with designated items.
However jsonTypes handler seems to disallow empty record list: Expected '*' not found (path 'records.*')

repro/test.js:

const frisby = require('frisby'),
  Joi = frisby.Joi;

it('should pass', (done) => {
  frisby.fromJSON({ records: [] })
    .inspectBody()
    .expect('jsonTypes', 'records.*', {
      id: Joi.string()
    })
    .done(done);
});

Run yarn jest repro

I'm happy if test passes in case that record list will be empty.

• using '*' with jsonTypes is causing false positives on empty arrays #438

Just quick idea:

• 'records.*' require one or more records, that are all are VALID.
• 'records.*?' require one or more records, that are all are VALID. Otherwise no record present.

Hi, sorry you ran into this issue, and thank you for the report. It looks like this has been already reported in #462, so to consolidate the discussion and efforts, I'm going to close this issue in preference to the previous issue.
