/'maɪ.kɑː/

A thin wrapper around mocha that finds tests anywhere in your project and provides a utility that gets tests up and running quickly

Install

Supported on Node.js versions 4 and 6

• npm install --save-dev mycha
• add ./node_modules/.bin to your PATH environment variable

Usage

• mycha install

  • prompts you for where you would like to install your default test helper, testHelperPath

  • If testHelperPath has an extension found here then it writes the test helper in that language and updates the configuration file accordingly

  • runs

    npm install --save-dev chai sinon sinon-chai

  • writes to testHelperPath

    
    process.env.NODE_ENV = 'test';

  var chai = require('chai'); var sinon = require('sinon'); chai.use(require('sinon-chai'));

  global.chai = chai; global.expect = chai.expect; global.sinon = sinon;

  
  * writes to `mycha.yml`
  ```yml
  # Environment variables to add to process.env when running mocha
  mochaEnv: {}
  
  # Default options to pass to mocha (can be overridden by command line options)
  mochaOptions:
    colors: true
    reporter: dot
  
  # Path patten used for finding tests (see https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch)
  testFilePattern: '**/*{spec,test}.js'
  
  # Files to include before all tests
  testHelpers:
    - #{testHelperPath}

• mycha [mochaOptions] [<folder>...] [<file>...]

  • if no folders or files are specified runs all tests
  • if folders or files are specified, pass them through to mocha

Compilers

To add a new compiler, add an entry here and add a language specific version of the test helper here.
