Concise Reporter for Mocha
A slimmed down reporter for mocha that prints USEFUL stack traces:
- Focuses on code by hiding or de-emphasizing stack frames in other modules or the mocha test framework itself
- Displays the contents of the line of code referenced in each frame
(See below for examples of output)
install it:
npm install mocha-concise-reporter --save-dev
to use it, use mocha's -R/--reporter argument:
./node_modules/.bin/mocha test -R mocha-concise-reporter
configuration of the reporter mode
The output mode for stack traces is set via env variable MOCHA_CONCISE_MODE or reporter option "mode" (-O option on mocha command line).
possible values:
-
default
- display (gray) stack frames from npm modules and node internals
- highlight stack frames from the local module
./node_modules/.bin/mocha test -R mocha-concise-reporter
-
minimal
- only display stack frames from the local module (just 'my code')
MOCHA_CONCISE_MODE=minimal ./node_modules/.bin/mocha test -R mocha-concise-reporter
./node_modules/.bin/mocha test -R mocha-concise-reporter -O mode=minimal
