mycha

---

/'maɪ.kɑː/

A thin wrapper around mocha that finds tests anywhere in your project and provides a utility that gets tests up and running quickly

Install

Supported on Node.js versions 4 and 6

• npm install --save-dev mycha
• add ./node_modules/.bin to your PATH environment variable

Usage

• mycha install

  • prompts you for where you would like to install your default test helper, testHelperPath

    • If testHelperPath has an extension found here then it writes the test helper in that language and updates the configuration file accordingly

  • runs

    npm install --save-dev chai sinon sinon-chai
    

  • writes to testHelperPath

    process.env.NODE_ENV = 'test';
    
    var chai = require('chai');
    var sinon = require('sinon');
    chai.use(require('sinon-chai'));
    
    global.chai = chai;
    global.expect = chai.expect;
    global.sinon = sinon;
    

  • writes to mycha.yml

    # Environment variables to add to process.env when running mocha
    mochaEnv: {}
    
    # Default options to pass to mocha (can be overridden by command line options)
    mochaOptions:
      colors: true
      reporter: dot
    
    # Path patten used for finding tests (see https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch)
    testFilePattern: '**/*{spec,test}.js'
    
    # Files to include before all tests
    testHelpers:
      - #{testHelperPath}
    

• mycha [mochaOptions] [<folder>...] [<file>...]

  • if no folders or files are specified runs all tests
  • if folders or files are specified, pass them through to mocha

Compilers

To add a new compiler, add an entry here and add a language specific version of the test helper here.
