gulp-mocha-co

Information

This gulp plugin is based on Sindre Sorhus gulp-mocha plugin, but pointing to mocha-co

Use

In order to have your tests running with mocha-co you need to launch gulp with the ES6 flag '--harmony'

You can do it with

node --harmony `which gulp`

or creating an alias

alias gulp='node --harmony `which gulp`'

Then you can run your tasks as normal

gulp test

Install

Install with npm

npm install --save-dev gulp-mocha-co

Example

var gulp = require('gulp');
var mocha = require('gulp-mocha-co');
 
gulp.task('default', function () {
  gulp.src('test.js')
    .pipe(mocha({reporter: 'nyan'}));
});

Code with generators

 
describe('My test with generators', function(){
  before(function *(){
    yield whatever.doSomething()
  });
 
  beforeEach(function*(){
    var returnedThing = yield whatever.returnWhatever()
  });
 
  it('Should have the things', function*(){
    var thingsExist = yield parser.checkIfThingsExist();
    expect(thingsExist).to.equals(true);
  });
});
 

Alternative

Btw, you can just keep using gulp-mocha and good ol mocha and add this code to your tests:

var co = require('co');

// ....

it('should work', function(done){
  co(function *(){
    yield whatever;
  })(done)
})
