Atom-Mocha

Run package specs in Atom using Mocha and Chai.

Installation

Run npm install atom-mocha --save-dev in your package's directory.

If nothing's happening:

• Check your package.json file contains "atomTestRunner": "atom-mocha"
• Atom may have cached your package's metadata. Refresh it by quitting and restarting the program.

If you're still experiencing difficulties, please file an issue.

Configuration

To pass options to Mocha, place a .mocharc.{js,json,yml} file in your package's base directory. (or in your specs folder, whichever you prefer). Alternatively, you can use package.json's "mocha": property instead:

{
	"mocha": {
		"bail": true,
		"ui": "bdd"
	}
}

For details on Mocha's configuration settings, consult their documentation. Options specific to this spec-runner are described in depth here.

Reminders

• Chai's expect function is automatically globalised for you.
• Nifty extras are available to help with writing tests.
• Reload the spec-runner window by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + R.
• Tests can be batch-toggled by Alt-clicking their title.
