mini-mocha

An absolutely minimal emulation of Mocha for demos.

Why

This was hacked together very quickly for demo purposes, making it possible to verify bugs on the Sinon issue tracker without having access to a development environment. Having an API emulation of Mocha makes it easier to demo bugs on RunKit when I see a verification test using Mocha or Jasmine, as I can just copy-paste the test into RunKit, add require('@fatso83/mini-mocha').install() at the top and it will run!

Typical usage

require('@fatso83/mini-mocha').install();

describe("issue #101 ES5 version", function() {
    it("normal sync test", function() {
        // passes
    });

    it("failing test", function() {
        throw new Error("My error");
    });
});

Results in this being printed

issue #101 ES5 version: normal sync test: ✔️
issue #101 ES5 version: failing test: ❌. My error

Known limitations

There are bits and pieces missing, most notably:

• No async support (by passing a callback or returning a promise)
• No support for Mocha internals like this.title, this.fullTitle(), etc.
