Write to and read from memory

[wuct]

Currently, mocha-webpack compile the webpack bundle to .tmp folder and let mocha read it from there. This process is time-consuming.

I suggest we should write the bundle to memory and let mocha read it from memory. This blog shows that it is a feasible way by using an undocumented mocha api.

If this looks good to you, I would like to give it a try :)

Yeah, I like the idea of handling everything in memory. I always wanted to implement this feature, but never found the time.

If you would like to give it a try, please do it. .

We have to consider a few things:

• write bundle to memory
• read bundle from memory
• compatibility with sourcemaps (node-source-map-support)
• code splitting
• debug support for IDE's (e.g. Webstorm mocha plugin)
