Package Exports

grunt-mocha-cli

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (grunt-mocha-cli) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Grunt Mocha CLI

Run Mocha server-side tests in Grunt.

Getting Started

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. You can install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-mocha-cli --save-dev

Usage

Options

All of the Mocha command line options are supported, plus some extras.

The list of test files to run can be specified using either the standard Grunt format or by using the files option. If neither is specified, the Mocha default will be used (test/*.js).

Mocha Options

invert (boolean) - inverts grep matches.
colors (boolean) - force enabling of colors.
no-colors (boolean) - force disabling of colors.
growl (boolean) - enable growl notification support.
debug (boolean) - enable node's debugger, synonym for node --debug.
bail (boolean) - bail after first test failure.
recursive (boolean) - include sub directories.
debug-brk (boolean) - enable node's debugger breaking on the first line.
ignore-leaks (boolean) - ignore global variable leaks.
reporter (string) - specify the reporter to use.
ui (string) - specify user-interface (bdd|tdd|exports).
grep (string) - only run tests matching pattern.
timeout (string) - set test-case timeout in milliseconds [2000].
slow (string) - "slow" test threshold in milliseconds [75].
globals (array) - allow the given comma-delimited global names.
compilers (array) - use the given module(s) to compile files.

Extras

quiet (boolean) - disable printing of Mocha's output to the terminal.
files (string|array) - glob(s) of test files to run.

Examples

Define test files using the standard Grunt format:

grunt.initConfig({
    mochacli: {
        options: {
            require: ['should'],
            reporter: 'nyan',
            bail: true
        },
        all: ['test/*.js']
    }
});

grunt.registerTask('test', ['mochacli']);

Define test files and basic options once, then customise options per target:

grunt.initConfig({
    mochacli: {
        options: {
            require: ['should'],
            files: 'test/*.js'
        },
        spec: {
            options: {
                reporter: 'spec'
            }
        },
        nyan: {
            options: {
                reporter: 'nyan'
            }
        }
    }
});

grunt.registerTask('test', ['mochacli:spec']);
