it-optional

Mocha add-on method it.optional() which marks a test as pending if it would fail

Overview

it-optional was created with adapter/plugin test suites in mind where a common set of tests is used to test different modules. If one or more tests is not mandatory for all it can be marked as optional using it.optional(title, fn). If the test passes then its marked as "passing" if the test fails then it's marked as "pending". This way optional functionality can be testes without breaking the whole suite.

Instalation

npm i it-optional -S

Usage
