mocha-headless-chrome

mocha-headless-chrome

This is the tool which runs client-side mocha tests in the command line through headless Chrome (puppeteer is used).

All mocha reporters are supported (including third-party reporters).

Getting Started

First you'll need to install mocha-headless-chrome:

npm i mocha-headless-chrome

Then prepare the test page (see the example).

• Add the <meta charset="utf-8"> meta tag. Otherwise browser may use another encoding and test results will be shown incorrectly.
• Include mocha js & styles into the page. Also add the container for mocha info <div id="mocha"></div>.
• Include your testable code and tests.
• Use window.runMochaHeadlessChrome() function instead mocha.run() if it is available.

Then run mocha-headless-chrome CLI and specify your test page path using -f parameter.

mocha-headless-chrome -f test-page.html

Options

• -f, --file - Path to the page which contains tests (required)
• -r, --reporter [value] - Mocha reporter name (defaults to "spec")
• -t, --timeout - Timeout in ms (defaults to 60000)
• -h, --help - Output usage information
• -v, --version - Output the version number
