4 min readTo programmatically skip a test in Mocha.js, you can use the skip() function provided by Mocha. This function allows you to skip a test based on a certain condition or logic within your test suite. You can use it in combination with conditional statements to determine whether a test should be skipped or not. By calling skip() within the test body, Mocha will mark that particular test as skipped and move on to the next test in the suite.

4 min readIn a Mocha testing environment, the process.stdout.write can sometimes behave differently or not work as expected compared to regular Node.js environment. This is because Mocha captures the stdout output for its own reporting purposes.One way to make process.stdout.write work in a Mocha environment is to use a library or plugin that allows you to override the stdout behavior. One popular library that can help in this scenario is mocha-stdio.

4 min readIn Mocha.js, you can provide context for a failed assertion by using the it block description or a custom message in the assert function. By providing descriptive text in the it block description, you can make it easier to identify which specific assertion failed. Additionally, you can include a custom message as the second argument to the assert function to provide more context for the failed assertion. This can help you better understand why the assertion failed and how to fix the issue.

3 min readTo exclude ts files in Mocha.js, you can specify the file extensions that you want to ignore during testing by using the --exclude flag followed by the file extension. For example, to exclude all .ts files, you can run Mocha.js with the command mocha --exclude .ts. This command will prevent Mocha from running tests on any files with the .ts extension.

7 min readTo install and run Mocha, you first need to have Node.js installed on your system. Mocha is a testing framework that is typically used with Node.js projects to run tests on your code.To install Mocha, you can use npm (Node Package Manager) by running the command npm install --global mocha in your terminal. This will install Mocha globally on your system, so you can use it from any directory.Once Mocha is installed, you can create your test files with the .test.js or .spec.

6 min readTo run an external script in Mocha.js, you can use the mocha command followed by the path to the script file you want to run. For example, if your script file is named test.js, you can run it with Mocha.js using the command mocha test.js.Make sure that you have Mocha.js installed globally on your machine using npm by running npm install -g mocha. This will allow you to use the mocha command in your terminal to run scripts.You can also set up Mocha.js to run external scripts in your package.

5 min readTo test a Node.js WebSocket server with Mocha, you can create test scripts that simulate WebSocket connections and interactions. First, you will need to set up a WebSocket server instance in your test script that mirrors the server you want to test. Then, you can use libraries such as ws or socket.io-client to connect to the server and perform actions like sending messages and receiving responses.

4 min readTo generate TypeScript code coverage with Mocha.js, you can use a tool like Istanbul. Istanbul is a code coverage tool that works with Mocha.js and can generate coverage reports for your TypeScript code.To set up code coverage with Mocha.js and Istanbul, you will first need to install Istanbul as a dev dependency in your project. Then, you can use Istanbul's CLI to generate coverage reports for your TypeScript code.

4 min readTo test a promise catch with Mocha.js, you can use the done() callback function that Mocha provides. Within your test case, you can create a promise that intentionally rejects, and then use the .catch() method to handle the rejection. Inside the .catch() block, you can make assertions using chai or any other assertion library to verify that the promise was caught properly.Here is an example of how you can write a test case for a promise catch using Mocha.

5 min readTo set a timeout on a before hook in Mocha.js, you can use the this.timeout() function within the before hook. This function allows you to specify the duration (in milliseconds) after which the before hook will timeout if it does not complete successfully.For example, if you want to set a timeout of 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds) on a before hook, you can do so by adding the following line of code within the before hook: before(function() { this.
