:coffee: Run Mocha tests using headless Google Chrome through Gulp
Getting Started
To begin, you'll need to install gulp-mocha-chrome:
$ npm install gulp-mocha-chrome --save-devThen you'll need a local npm install of mocha for your test html files to reference:
$ npm install mocha --save-devTo run the tests, you'll need an HTML file with some basics:
<!doctype>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/mocha/mocha.css" />
<script src="node_modules/mocha/mocha.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/chai/chai.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="mocha"></div>
<script>
expect = chai.expect;
// add tests here
mocha.run();
</script>
</body>
</html>
You can then add your tests either through an external script file or
inline within a <script> tag.
Gulpfile
Next, you'll need to add the tests to your gulpfile.js.
const gulp = require('gulp');
const mochaChrome = require('gulp-mocha-chrome');
gulp.task('test', function () {
return gulp
.src('test/runner.html')
.pipe(mochaChrome());
});Remote URLs
Because mocha-chrome uses the Chrome Devtools Protocol under the hood, you can
also connect to remote (or locally served) urls for testing. eg:
gulp.task('test', function () {
const stream = mochaPhantomJS();
stream.write({path: 'http://localhost:8000/index.html'});
stream.end();
return stream;
});Mocha Test Stats
If you're using a Gulp plugin like gulp-tap
to inspect the results after the tests run, you can access the Mocha results for
individual file via the file.mocha property. eg:
gulp.src('test/runner.html')
.pipe(mochaChrome())
.pipe(tap(function(file, t) {
file.mocha;
}));
/*
file.mocha -> {

suites: 2,

passes: 2,
pending: 0,

}
}
