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, a pendingUntilFixed 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 remove pendingUntilFixed 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;
  }));
});
