mocha-csslint

mocha-csslint

Run CSSLint as Mocha tests.

To install in your node.js project as devDependency, run this command, in the root of your project

npm install mocha-csslint --save-dev --save-exact

Usage

Mocha defaults to looking for your test specs in the test folder of your project. Add this file as test/csslint.spec.js in your project, with the following content:

require('mocha-csslint')('/client/static/css');

You should point to the place where you keep your css files instead of '/client/static/css' above.

That is it you are done.

You can still specify you csslint options in a .csslintrc file in the root of your project (see this project for an example)

To grep only the CSSLint test, just do

mocha --grep csslint

If you want to run CSSLint on several separate folders you can do:

require('mocha-csslint')(['/client/static/css', '/clinet2/css']);

Why?

This module was created to:

• Make adding CSSLint testing to a project using Mocha as easy as possible
• Make it easy to piggyback on all the different Mocha reporters (dot, spec, teamcity etc) for CSSLint output
• Make sure that you get a click-able link directly to the problem in WebStorm, when CSSLint fails
• Make sure that there is no unnecessary noise in the test output
