Typescript mismatch with toBeTrue/toBeFalse as of @types/jasmine 3.5.0

jasmine 3.5 now has it's own toBeTrue and toBeFalse matchers, so they could just be removed from this library.

@JamieMason Would you be willing to accept a PR to remove expectationFailOutput?: any parameter from .toBeTrue() and .toBeFalse() matchers to prevent conflict with built-in matchers with the same name available as of Jasmine 3.5.0? This will require a major release as it is a breaking change.

Not suggesting complete removal of the matchers as Jest does not have them and also because it will affect more people then removal of the optional parameter.

For Jasmine expectationFailOutput works because of an implementation detail and is not a supported usage. That's why Jasmine 3.3.0 introduced .withContext() as supported way to add more information to the assertion.

Not sure how does this influence Jest users of the library though.

PS I will also try to deprecated expectationFailOutput parameters in @types/jasmine package in the coming weeks. If that goes through it should be a good idea to deprecate this parameter in all jasmine-expect matchers, so people would migrate from the unsupported usage.

Hi,

I ran into the same problem with Jasmine in an Angular project. I managed to solve it by removing the jasmine-expect entry that I had in my tsconfig.spec.json file:

{
  "extends": "../tsconfig.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "../out-tsc/spec",
    "types": [
      "jasmine",
      "node",
      "jasmine-expect" # Removed this Line.
    ]
  },
  "files": [
    "test.ts",
    "polyfills.ts"
  ],
  "include": [
    "**/*.spec.ts",
    "**/*.d.ts"
  ]
}

Is there any progress on this @JamieMason? The read me details that this library supports all versions of jest and Jasmine; but currently doesn't work with the last few releases of Jasmine.

A huge library of test matchers for a range of common use-cases, compatible with all versions of Jasmine and Jest.

Had to revert back to Jasmine Core 3.4.0 to get around this issue for now.

Did anyone here find a better workaround than pinning down Jasmine and its types to 3.4 until this gets fixed for good?
