Welcome @plroebuck, @craigtaub, & @markowsiak to the team!
- #3149: Drop Node.js v4.x support (@outsideris)
- #3556: Changes to command-line options (@boneskull):
--grep
and--fgrep
are now mutually exclusive; attempting to use both will cause Mocha to fail instead of simply ignoring--grep
--compilers
is no longer supported; attempting to use will cause Mocha to fail with a link to more information-d
is no longer an alias for--debug
;-d
is currently ignored- #3275:
--watch-extensions
no longer impliesjs
; it must be explicitly added (@TheDancingCode)
- #2908:
tap
reporter emits error messages (@chrmod) - #2819: When conditionally skipping in a
before
hook, subsequentbefore
hooks and tests in nested suites are now skipped (@bannmoore) - #627: Emit filepath in "timeout exceeded" exceptions where applicable (@boneskull)
- #3556:
lib/template.html
has moved tolib/browser/template.html
(@boneskull) - #2576: An exception is now thrown if Mocha fails to parse or find a
mocha.opts
at a user-specified path (@plroebuck) - #3458: Instantiating a
Base
-extending reporter without aRunner
parameter will throw an exception (@craigtaub) - #3125: For consumers of Mocha's programmatic API, all exceptions thrown from Mocha now have a
code
property (and some will have additional metadata). SomeError
messages have changed. Please use thecode
property to checkError
types instead of themessage
property; these descriptions will be localized in the future. (@craigtaub)
These are soft-deprecated, and will emit a warning upon use. Support will be removed in (likely) the next major version of Mocha:
-gc
users should use--gc-global
instead- Consumers of the function exported by
bin/options
should now use theloadMochaOpts
orloadOptions
(preferred) functions exported by thelib/cli/options
module
Regarding the Mocha
class constructor (from lib/mocha
):
- Use property
color: false
instead ofuseColors: false
- Use property
timeout: false
instead ofenableTimeouts: false
All of the above deprecations were introduced by #3556.
mocha.opts
is now considered "legacy"; please prefer RC file or package.json
over mocha.opts
.
Enhancements introduced in #3556:
-
Mocha now supports "RC" files in JS, JSON, YAML, or
package.json
-based (usingmocha
property) format.mocharc.js
,.mocharc.json
,.mocharc.yaml
or.mocharc.yml
are valid "rc" file names and will be automatically loaded- Use
--config /path/to/rc/file
to specify an explicit path - Use
--package /path/to/package.json
to specify an explicitpackage.json
to read themocha
prop from - Use
--no-config
or--no-package
to completely disable loading of configuration via RC file andpackage.json
, respectively - Configurations are merged as applicable using the priority list:
- Command-line arguments
- RC file
package.json
mocha.opts
- Mocha's own defaults
- Check out these example config files
-
Node/V8 flag support in
mocha
executable:- Support all allowed
node
flags as supported by the running version ofnode
(also thanks to @demurgos) - Support any V8 flag by prepending
--v8-
to the flag name - All flags are also supported via config files,
package.json
properties, ormocha.opts
- Debug-related flags (e.g.,
--inspect
) now imply--no-timeouts
- Use of e.g.,
--debug
will automatically invoke--inspect
if supported by running version ofnode
- Support all allowed
-
Support negation of any Mocha-specific command-line flag by prepending
--no-
to the flag name -
Interfaces now have descriptions when listed using
--interfaces
flag -
Mocha
constructor supports all options -
--extension
is now an alias for--watch-extensions
and affects non-watch-mode test runs as well. For example, to run onlytest/*.coffee
(nottest/*.js
), you can domocha --require coffee-script/register --extensions coffee

This patch features a fix to address a potential "low severity" ReDoS vulnerability in the diff package (a dependency of Mocha).
- #3011: Expose
generateDiff()
inBase
reporter (@harrysarson)
This release fixes a class of tests which report as false positives. Certain tests will now break, though they would have previously been reported as passing. Details below. Sorry for the inconvenience!
-
#3226: Do not swallow errors that are thrown asynchronously from passing tests (@boneskull). Example:
```js it('should actually fail, sorry!', function (done) { // passing assertion assert(true === true);
// test complete & is marked as passing done();
// ...but something evil lurks within setTimeout(() => { throw new Error('chaos!'); }, 100); }); ```
Previously to this version, Mocha would have silently swallowed the
chaos!
exception, and you wouldn't know. Well, now you know. Mocha cannot recover from this gracefully, so it will exit with a nonzero code.Maintainers of external reporters: If a test of this class is encountered, the
Runner
instance will emit theend
event twice; you may need to change your reporter to userunner.once('end')
intead ofrunner.on('end')

Mocha starts off 2018 right by again dropping support for unmaintained rubbish.
Welcome @vkarpov15 to the team!
- #3148: Drop support for IE9 and IE10 (@Bamieh) Practically speaking, only code which consumes (through bundling or otherwise) the userland buffer module should be affected. However, Mocha will no longer test against these browsers, nor apply fixes for them.

-
⚠️ Due to the increasing difficulty of applying security patches made within its dependency tree, as well as looming incompatibilities with Node.js v7.0, Mocha no longer supports Node.js v0.8. -
⚠️ Mocha may no longer be installed by versions ofnpm
less than1.4.0
. Previously, this requirement only affected Mocha's development dependencies. In short, this allows Mocha to depend on packages which have dependencies fixed to major versions (^
). -
.only()
is no longer "fuzzy", can be used multiple times, and generally just works like you think it should. 😂 -
To avoid common bugs, when a test injects a callback function (suggesting asynchronous execution), calls it, and returns a
Promise
, Mocha will now throw an exception:```js const assert = require('assert');
it('should complete this test', function (done) { return new Promise(function (resolve) { assert.ok(true); resolve(); }) .then(done); }); ```
The above test will fail with
Error: Resolution method is overspecified. Specify a callback *or* return a Promise; not both.
. -
When a test timeout value greater than
2147483648
is specified in any context (--timeout
,mocha.setup()
, per-suite, per-test, etc.), the timeout will be disabled and the test(s) will be allowed to run indefinitely. This is equivalent to specifying a timeout value of0
. See MDN for reasoning. -
The
dot
reporter now uses more visually distinctive characters when indicating "pending" and "failed" tests. -
Mocha no longer supports component.
-
The long-forsaken
HTMLCov
andJSONCov
reporters--and any relationship to the "node-jscoverage" project--have been removed. -
spec
reporter now omits leading carriage returns (\r
) in non-TTY environment.

Thanks @entertainyou, @SimenB, @just-paja for the heads-up.
This has been awhile coming! We needed to feel confident that the next release wouldn't break browser compatibility (e.g. the last few patch releases).
We now run unit tests against PhantomJS v1.x and an assortment of browsers on SauceLabs, including:
- Internet Explorer v8.0
- Chrome (latest)
- Firefox (latest)
- Safari (latest)
- Microsoft Edge (latest)
To accomplish this, we now run Mocha's unit tests (and a handful of integration tests) via Karma and a modified karma-mocha. Along the way, we had to solve issue #880 (apologies to @mderijcke and @sukima who had PRs addressing this), as well as replace most usages of should with expect.js for IE8.
Going forward, when sending PRs, your code will only run against PhantomJS v1.x (and not hit SauceLabs) because security.
Node.js 6.x "just worked" before, but now it's in the CI matrix, so it's "officially" supported. Mocha still retains support for Node.js 0.8.x.
You'll see mostly bug fixes below, but also a couple features--as such, it's a "minor" release.
Thanks to everyone who contributed, and our fabulous sponsors and backers!
