Mocha convenience helpers
Usage
Place this file somewhere in your test directory:
// test/helpers/mocha.js
require('mocha-helpers')(module);
Then use it via:
// test/unit/my-file/my-function-test.js
const { describe, it } = require('../../helpers/mocha');
const { myFunction } = require('my-file');
describe(function() {
it(myFunction, function() {
// stuff
});
it.allowFail('skip on error', function() {
assert.ok(false);
});
});
Prints:
Unit | My-File
✓ myFunction
Retry Hooks
Make hooks follow --retries
logic. https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/issues/2127.
// test/helpers/mocha.js
require('mocha-helpers')(module, {
retryHooks: true
});
Then use it via:
// test/my-test.js
const { describe, beforeEach } = require('./helpers/mocha');
describe(function() {
let retries = 0;
beforeEach(function() {
if (retries++ < 1) {
throw new Error();
}
});
it('works', function() {
// stuff
});
});
mocha test/my-test.js --retries 1
Prints:
My-Test
✓ works
