jest-runner-mocha

jest-runner-mocha

An experimental Mocha runner for Jest

This makes it easy to integrate existing Mocha projects with Jest.

Usage

Install

Install jest(it needs Jest 21+) and jest-runner-mocha

yarn add --dev jest jest-runner-mocha

# or with NPM

npm install --save-dev jest jest-runner-mocha

Add it to your Jest config

In your package.json

{
  "jest": {
    "runner": "jest-runner-mocha"
  }
}

Or in jest.config.js

module.exports = {
  runner: 'jest-runner-mocha',
}

Run Jest

yarn jest

Config options

Create a jest-runner-mocha.config.js at the <rootDir> or your Jest project.

• ui: (Optional) the UI used by mocha

// example
module.exports = {
  ui: 'tdd',
}

• compiler: (Optional) the used for adding a compile step to your mocha tests

// example
module.exports = {
  compiler: '/absolute/path/to/babel-register/or/other/compiler',
}

NOTE: Eventually Jest will eventually have an option for configuring runners that will eliminate the need for jest-runner-mocha.config.js

Known issues

• It does not support any Mocha options except for ui and compiler
• You can't run it with jest --coverage
• Support for compilers is very limited.
• Does not support jest --runInBand
