https://gist.github.com/joshgoebel/40d89450a8cd7c653d98f8fa225c208f i don't like that i have to lose the namespacing but to make modules work inside you have to await them and that seems to silently break the tests
is there some way to have cake and eat it too, or is this just a limitation that there is no way around?
This is all using Node's native ESM. The question is: How to use modules and ALSO keep the
hljs namespacing for the test suite.
just making the function async and using
await import failed silently
is there a way to resolve that?
well, i'm not making proclamations bout "has to do with ESM" (or not) only saying it was trivially possible with
require but seems impossible with ESM... I'm just making sure that I'm not missing something. It sounds like it's simply not possible. It was just about seeing the output of the tests grouped nicely when running them.
Since it's not possible is there any real benefit it upgrading our test suite to use ESM vs just continuing to use require?
?
it just wait for the timeout

i just faced with some strange behavior.
in package json i have
it seems that when in watch mode there is internal
yarn mocha runs all tests without exceptions but yarn mocha --watch throws Must use import to load ES Module: [path to my test file]in package json i have
"type":"module"it seems that when in watch mode there is internal
require instead of import, i suppose.
Hi. Could anybody help please
I want to use in autotest inside it some delay between every retries, example 4 retries and 10 seconds between reties. Tried to find mocha methods..but can't find it..
Example:
it('some test', async function () {
this.retries(4);
//some delay between retries
.....
}

From what I can tell of https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/blob/master/lib/runner.js#L816 there is NO delay

You can add a delay between 'ALL' tests, regardless of pass/fail/retry, using
beforeEach but I don't believe you can pick and choose when to add a delay
it('should blar', async () => {
try {
// my tests
} catch (err) {
await delay(400);
throw err;
}
});
function delay(time) {
return new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, time));
}
Dirty hack I could think of.
@WORMSS @vovanoid89 find a solution
I'm trying to setup mocha to test a react suit
I'm running it requiring babel/register and env and react presets
react preset targets node in current version and useBuiltIn is usage with corejs 3.10
but, when run it throws an index out of bounds java exception cCaused by: Attached Guest Language Frames (9)
any clue where I should be looking at?

it really drives me crazy :(
Hi All, Basic question!
I need to develop end2end testing for a series of softwares that we have developed in house and I wonder if Mocha is the right tool for it?
A typical test scenario in our case consists of following steps (which is done manually at the moment)
- Invoke a Soap API to create an object (Soap call)
- Check MS SQL to make sure records are created (MS SQL statement)
- Wait for an in house developed software to move the record to Oracle DB and verify
- Verify Oracle DB to make sure synchroniser passes the test (Oracle statement)
- Invoke XML over http API and verify the result (invoke API and check XML)
Ideally I want to be able to let testers to write these test scenarios and add to the list of tests to be performed with every new version released. Would you recommend Mocha?
mocha v.8
Anyone can help me?
I'm trying to resolve some flakey integration tests I'm not particular proud of. The problem is that a lot of our assertions require waiting for side effects (up to a threshold), but when running large #'s of tests in parallel, that data pipeline can take a little bit longer than we expect. So this can resolve in 1/1000 tests failing due to a condition not being met in a beforeEach hook. I'd like to quickly hack to stop the bleeding and prevent all the lost time of a single test "failing" despite increasing timeout (it only needs to go up and up as the number of tests and amount of data goes up, resulting in tests that could be fast becoming slow to accomodate the one that will fail). What's the best way to monkeypatch beforeEach so that it follows mocha's retry logic? I'm not talking about adding a custom beforeEach, because I don't want to impact developer QOL or have to enforce "you must use this special beforeEach!" when in reality all tests work perfectly on their own and to the individual developer, it's only when running large numbers of tests in parallel (CI) that we see issues
Hi guys.
Is there a way to 'pass with no tests' like Jest does?
I mean, I'm setting up a new app with mocha and I added a testing validation on pre-push hook. The problem is that at this moment I still have no tests. I'm on the beginning, just want to let the project ready for when it starts. Any thoughts?
