meteor-mocha

This repository contains a set of packages to help writing mocha tests in Meteor environment.

Quick start

meteor npm install --save-dev mocha
meteor add gagarin:mocha-driver
meteor add gagarin:mocha-reporter
meteor test --driver-package gagarin:mocha-driver

Please note that you need to add mocha manually. This is a good, because you can use whatever version of mocha you want.

To add some tests, simply put them in *.test(s).js files somewhere in your project, e.g.

describe('The simplest possible test suite', function () {
  it('should be ok', function () {
    // ...
  });
});

You can now see the tests results at http://localhost:3000. As you will see we are using in browser terminal to show the results, which means that you can use whatever mocha reporter you like the most, e.g.

http://localhost:3000/?reporter=nyan

Using with the cli tool

You you don't feel like watching the tests results in your browser, and instead you prefer to have all of them printed in a terminal, you can use gagarin-mocha-cli.

npm install -g @gagarinjs/mocha-cli

Then run

gagarin-mocha-cli

in your project root. By default gagarin-mocha-cli will spawn meteor process in the background and will connect to it to grab tests results. See gagarin-mocha-cli --help, for all available options. For continous integration you will probably want to use

gagarin-mocha-cli --once --reports-only --reporter <reporter>
