Question

I’m using mocha for javascript unit-testing now.

I have several test files, each file has a before and beforeEach, but they are exactly the same.

How do I provide a global before and beforeEach for all of them (or some of them)?

Answer 1

Declare a before or beforeEach in a separate file (I use spec_helper.coffee) and require it.

spec_helper.coffee

afterEach (done) ->
  async.parallel [
    (cb) -> Listing.remove {}, cb
    (cb) -> Server.remove {}, cb
  ], ->
    done()

test_something.coffee

require './spec_helper'
