Mocha is a JavaScript test framework for Node.js programs, featuring browser support, asynchronous testing, test coverage reports, and use of any assertion library.[1]

Assertion libraries

[edit]

Mocha can be used with most JavaScript assertion libraries, including:

  • should.js
  • express.js
  • chai
  • better-assert
  • unexpected

Usage and examples

[edit]
$ npm install -g mocha $ mkdir test $ $EDITOR test/test.js # or open with your favorite editor 
var assert = require("assert") describe('Foo', function(){   describe('#getBar(value)', function() {     it('should return 100 when value is negative') // placeholder     it('should return 0 when value is positive', function() {       assert.equal(0, Foo.getBar(10));     })   }) }) 
$  mocha . 1 test complete (1ms) 


For asynchronous testing, invoke the callback, and Mocha will wait for completion.

describe('Foo', function(){   describe('#bar()', function() {     it('should work without error', function(done) {       var foo = new Foo(128);       foo.bar(done);     })   }) })
