# velocity-mocha

`meteor add mike:mocha`

This meteor package allows you to easily and safely run [mocha](http://mochajs.org/) tests *within* [Meteor](https://www.meteor.com). It is built upon the [Velocity testing framework](https://github.com/meteor-velocity/velocity).

Here's an example using CoffeeScript (or [check out the full Meteor project w/ tests](https://github.com/mad-eye/leaderboard-mocha))

```coffeescript

MochaWeb?.testOnly ->

  describe "Leaderboard", ->

    describe "givePoints", ->

      it "gives 5 points to the user", ->

        #create a player

        playerId = Players.insert {name: "TestUser1", score: 5}

        Session.set "selectedPlayer", playerId

        # wait 100ms for button to appear, then continue

        setTimeout (->

          $('button.inc').click()

          player = Players.findOne(playerId)

          chai.assert.equal player.score, 10

          Players.remove playerId

          done()

        ), 100

```

## Setting Up

The above test will work with the `leaderboard` example shipped with Meteor 1.0.

1. Create the app with `meteor create --example leaderboard`

2. Change the current working directory to `leaderboard`

3. Start the app by running `meteor`

4. Add CoffeeScript support with `meteor add coffeescript`

5. Create the directory `tests/mocha/client`

6. Save the above test code in a file called `tests/mocha/client/leaderboard.coffee`

7. Navigate to the app ( by default) and click the Velocity icon in the upper right to see test results

You're free to write your tests in any Meteor supported extension. The [chai](http://chaijs.com/) assertion library is included within this package for your convenience.

(requires Meteor 0.9+)

## Testing a local installation of mocha

1. Clone this repository somewhere `git clone https://github.com/mad-eye/meteor-mocha-web`

2. Create a packages directory in the root of your app if it doesn't already exist `cd YOUR_APP && mkdir packages`

3. Create a symlink to the repository you cloned `cd YOUR_APP/packages && ln -s /PATH/TO/meteor-mocha-web mike:mocha`

4. Add the package to the application : meteor add mike:mocha

5. Run your app

### Running tests in Continuous Integration

Use the commmand:

```bash

meteor --test --release velocity:[email protected]_2

```

The release `velocity:[email protected]_2` contains a fix for running

the client integration tests.

## Using `mike:mocha-package`
