This plugin looks for the closest package.json
to the current file,
and run the corresponding mocha
. This should automatically pick up the right version,
as well as your mocha.opts
settings.
If you don't have a package.json
file, or if Mocha isn't installed locally,
it will try to execute the global mocha
command instead.
To run the selected test, it uses --grep
on the test name.
In the case the name isn't unique enough, it might run a few other tests.
In practice we found this is not an issue, and you still get fast TDD feedback loops.
If you go to the settings pane, you can set the following values:
