Adonis Vow Mocha

Mocha Test runner for Adonis framework

Fork of Adonis Vow test runner for Adonis framework combined with Mocha, just install and register the provider and BOOM it works with your mocha BDD tests.

Setup

npm install --save-dev adonis-vow-mocha

Register provider

The provider must be registered as an aceProvider, since there is no point in loading test runner when running your app.

const aceProviders = [
  'adonis-vow-mocha/providers/VowMochaProvider'
]

Run tests

That's all you really need to do in order to get up and running. Now you can run mocha tests in test/unit, test/integration and test/functional by executing following command.

adonis test

For help, run. Most command options from Adonis Vow have been ported over.

adonis test --help

Before and After hooks

To perform actions before and after all tests have completed (e.g. start and stop the test server for functional testing) add a hooks.js in /test. See an example of this in templates/hooks.js

Environment files

The vow provider attempts to load the .env.test file when running tests. Any variables placed inside this file will override the actual variables.

Spec is the default reporter but you can define your own with the REPORTER env variable.

Development

The tests for the test runner are written using japa and make sure to go through the docs.
