Vitest offers much of the functionality that Mocha does. It provides a describe() function, it(), as well as hooks like beforeEach() and afterEach(). However, there are some differences:
The Mocha before() hook maps to Vitest beforeAll().
The Mocha after() hook maps to Vitest afterAll().
In Mocha, it() and specify() are synonyms. In Vitest, it's it() and test(). We use specify() for one test where it was awkward to start the test title with "it". I've replaced that use of specify() with test().
A future PR will actually replace Mocha with Vitest. However, it'll reduce the size of that PR to start renaming these globals now. This PR uses Vitest names for testing globals, making replacements along the lines of what's described above. It then specifies those names in the ESLint config. Related issue: #671
What has been done to verify that this works as intended?
Testing and linting continue to pass.
