[](https://npm.im/kocha)
> Modern, simpler Mocha clone, no globals, lint friendly
Supports node.js >= maintained LTS.
# Use in node.js
## :cd: Install
npm install kocha --save-dev
Require `describe`, `it` etc from kocha, and write tests as in `mocha`:
`test.js`:
```js
const { describe, it } = require('kocha')
const assert = require('assert')
const add = (a, b) => a + b
describe('add', () => {
it('adds the given numbers', () => {
const sum = add(12, 13)
assert(sum === 25)
})
})
```
Then run it by `kocha` command.
./node_modules/.bin/kocha test.js
This outputs the report like the below:
```console
$ ./node_modules/.bin/kocha test.js
add
✓ adds the given numbers
1 passing (4ms)
```
# Use in [karma][karma]
## :cd: Install
npm install kocha karma-kocha --save-dev
Init karma.conf.js by invoking `karma init` command and following the instructions.
Then add `kocha` configs to `karma.conf.js` like the below:
```js
module.exports = config => config.set({
frameworks: ['kocha', 'browserify'],
files: [
'test/**/*.js'
],
preprocessors: {
'test/**/*.js': 'browserify'
}
browserify: {
debug: true,
...
},
...
})
```
And write the tests like the below:
`test/add.js`:
```js
const { describe, it } = require('kocha')
const assert = require('assert')
const add = (a, b) => a + b
describe('add', () => {
it('adds the given numbers', () => {
const sum = add(12, 13)
assert(sum === 25)
})
})
```
Then hit the command `karma start`:
karma start
It outputs the test result like the below:
```console
$ karma start
07 06 2017 13:41:07.792:INFO [framework.browserify]: bundle built
07 06 2017 13:41:07.809:INFO [karma]: Karma v1.7.0 server started at http://0.0.0.0:9876/
07 06 2017 13:41:07.809:INFO [launcher]: Launching browser Chrome with unlimited concurrency
07 06 2017 13:41:07.819:INFO [launcher]: Starting browser Chrome
07 06 2017 13:41:09.349:INFO [Chrome 58.0.3029 (Mac OS X 10.12.5)]: Connected on socket Qs7TxwAJjfsy7LElAAAA with id 79520559
Chrome 58.0.3029 (Mac OS X 10.12.5): Executed 1 of 1 SUCCESS (0.007 secs / 0.001 secs)
```
That's it.
**Note**: You need a CommonJS bundler (typically `browserify` or `webpack`) to use kocha in karma.
**Note**: If you use [babel][babel] together with the bundler, then import `describe`, `it` etc like the below:
```js
import { describe, it } from 'kocha'
describe('foo', () => { ... })
```
# APIs
```js
const {
describe,
it,
before,
beforeEach,
after,
afterEach,
timeout,
retries
} = require('kocha')
```
## describe(title, callback)
Adds the test suite by the `title` and `callback`. In `callback` function you can add child test suites and/or test cases.
**Note**: The alias `context(title, callback)` is also available.
## describe.skip(title, callback)
Adds the skipped test suite by the `title` and `callback`. The test suites and cases under this suite are all skipped as well.
**Note**: The alias `xdescribe(title, callback)` and `xcontext(title, callback)` are also available.
## it(title, callback)
Adds the skipped test case by the `title` and `callback`. `callback` implements your test case.
**Note**: The alias `specify(title, callback)` is also available.
## it.skip(title, callback)
Adds the skipped test case by the `title` and `callback`.
**Note**: The alias `xit(title, callback)` and `xspecify(title, callback)` is also available.
## before(callback)
Adds the before hook to the current suite.
## beforeEach(callback)
Adds the beforeEach hook to the current suite.
## after(callback)
Adds the after hook to the current suite.
## afterEach(callback)
Adds the afterEach hook to the current suite.
## timeout(timeout)
Sets the timeout duration to the test cases or the test suites.
## retries(n)
Sets the retry count of the test cases or the test suites.
# Kocha CLI
```
Usage: kocha [options]
Options:
-h, --help Shows the help message
-v, --version Shows the version number
-r, --require Requires the given module e.g. --require @babel/register
-c, --config Specify the config file path e.g. --config kocha.e2e.config.js
-t, --timeout Sets the test-case timeout in milliseconds. Default is 2000.
Examples:
kocha test/ Runs all the tests under test/.
kocha "src{/,**/}__tests__/**/*.js"
Runs tests under the directory pattern src/**/__tests__/.
kocha --require @babel/register --require @babel/polyfill test/
Runs tests under test/ using @babel/register and @babel/polyfill.
kocha --require coffee-script/register "test/**/*.coffee"
Runs coffeescript tests under test/.
```
## kocha.config.js
kocha command automatically looks up `kocha.config.js` from the current directory and execute it. You can configure the test runner there.
kocha.config.js:
```js
const { timeout, retries } = require('kocha')
timeout(5000) // Sets the default timeout to 5000ms
retries(2) // Sets the default retry count to 2
// Other preparations
// For example, babel settings
require('@babel/register')
require('@babel/polyfill')
// For example, power-assert settings
require('espower-loader')({
pattern: 'test/**/*.js'
})
// For example, coffee-script settings
require('coffee-script/register')
```
# Goals
- Support BDD mode, Spec reporter of [mocha][mocha] in CommonJS environment.
- This includes Karma environment with CommonJS bundler (browserify, webpack).
- Keeping the basic usability of Mocha, modernize the rusty old aspects of Mocha.
## Non-goals
- Kocha isn't a drop-in replacement of [mocha][mocha].
- Kocha doesn't support interfaces other than `BDD`, like `TDD`, `QUnit`, `Exports` etc
- Kocha doesn't support standalone mode in browser. Use bundlers and [karma][karma] for browser unit testing.
- Kocha's BDD interface is not identical to Mocha's BDD interface. See the below for details.
# Differences from mocha
## BDD interface
- Kocha doesn't have `this.timeout(ms)` API. Use `kocha.timeout(ms)` API instead.
- Kocha doesn't have `this.retries(n)` API. Use `kocha.retries(n)` API instead.
## CLI
- Kocha doesn't support `--opts` option and `mocha.opts` (or `kocha.opts`). Write options directly instead.
- Kocha doesn't support `-w, --watch` option. Use `chokidar-cli` and run-scripts instead.
- Kocha doesn't support `--compilers` option. Use `--require` instead.
# Migration from mocha
## For node.js
1. Install `kocha`
1. Use `kocha` command instead of `mocha` or `_mocha` command.
1. Add `const { describe, it, ... } = require('kocha')` statement on the top of each mocha test script.
1. Rewrite `this.timeout(N)` to `kocha.timeout(N)` if you have any.
1. Rewrite `this.retries(N)` to `kocha.retries(N)` if you have any.
1. Then your tests should work with kocha.
If the above doesn't work, please file an issue.
## For [karma][karma]
1. Install `karma-kocha` and `kocha`
1. Set `framework: ['kocha', ...]` instead of `framework: ['mocha', ...]`.
1. Introduce a bundler (`browserify` or `webpack`) if don't have any.
1. Add `const { describe, it, ... } = require('kocha')` statement on the top of each mocha test script.
1. Rewrite `this.timeout(N)` to `kocha.timeout(N)` if you have any.
1. Rewrite `this.retries(N)` to `kocha.retries(N)` if you have any.
1. Then your tests should work with kocha.
If the above doesn't work, please file an issue.
