Mochify driver for jsdom

Run tests in jsdom.

Use this driver with the Mochify CLI to run Mocha tests in jsdom, a headless web browser emulator for testing. See Mochify if you are looking for Mochify drivers for other browser testing environments.

Usage

Install the package from npm:

npm i @mochify/driver-jsdom -D

and pass it to the Mochify CLI:

mochify --driver jsdom ...

Example with options passed to the driver:

mochify --driver jsdom \
  --driver-option.url https://example.test \
  --driver-option.pretendToBeVisual false

Driver options

The driver allows the following options to be set:

• stderr: Defines the stream the test output will be written to. Default: process.stderr.

• strictSSL: Set to false to disable the requirement that SSL certificates be valid. Default: false.

• pretendToBeVisual: When true, jsdom will pretend that it is rendering and displaying content. Default: true.

• url: Run tests in the context of the given URL. Default: http://localhost.

Passing through other options to jsdom

In addition to the driver options documented above, driver-jsdom allows you to pass through all of jsdom's other constructor options, using the defaults as described here. Note that it is not possible to use a custom virtualConsole or to set the runScripts option, because the driver needs to set these itself to function correctly.
