grunt-mocha-spawn
Run mocha tests in grunt using a node sub-process so async assertion failures won't crash grunt
Deprecated! This was a temporary module to bypass a bug in the regular grunt + mocha runners who all suffered a nasty bug that is solved by now.
You probably want to use the fully featured and tested grunt-mocha-test instead, unless you have specific reasons not to.
Alternates:
- grunt-mocha-test (solid with test and features)
- grunt-simple-mocha (simple)
- grunt-cafe-mocha (buggy)
- grunt-mocha-hack (fixed bug with hack)
Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-mocha-spawn --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt;
