mocha-pending-until-fixed v0.0.2
mocha-pending-until-fixed
Marks a mocha test as "pending until fixed", which skips if the test fails, but throws if the test succeeds.
This helper function is influenced by ScalaTest's pendingUntilFixed
, so I will simply quote them:
This function can be used to temporarily change a failing test into a pending test in such a way that it will automatically turn back into a failing test once the problem originally causing the test to fail has been fixed. At that point, you need only remove the
pendingUntilFixed
call. In other words, apendingUntilFixed
surrounding a block of code that isn't broken is treated as a test failure. The motivation for this behavior is to encourage people to removependingUntilFixed
calls when there are no longer needed.
Installation
yarn add -D mocha-pending-until-fixed
or
npm i -D mocha-pending-until-fixed
Usage
Simply wrap the lowest level function in your mocha test callback with pendingUntilFixed
:
import pendingUntilFixed from 'mocha-pending-until-fixed';
describe('SomeFunction', () => {
it('does a thing', pendingUntilFixed(() => {
expect(false).to.be.true;
}));
});
