Summary

Reporter for mocha tests which prints the test statuses in a hierarchical manner. This reporter is based on the spec reporter provided by mocha. There are a few differences between this and spec:

• A failing test has a x in front of it. The failing index suffix has been moved to the end of line.

• The failures are reported in the end as in spec. The only difference is the name of the failed tests is shown in a hierarchy.

• Object diff is reported properly with a deep colored diff of its contents.

Installation

Install using npm and save it as a development dependency:

npm install hierarchical-reporter --save-dev

Usage

Simply use the --reporter CLI option to specify the reporter you want to use:

mocha --reporter hierarchical-reporter test/*.js

Building

To get the js source generated form coffee script:

$ grunt coffee

This will put all js files in lib folder.

Testing

To execute tests, make sure grunt is installed. Then run:

$ grunt test

Before testing, this task will perform a lint check using coffeelint. Tests will be executed if and only if linting succeeds.

The default task of grunt will run this command as well. So, just typing grunt and pressing RET is also sufficient to run tests.

Documentation

Documentation is generated using docco and placed in docs folder. To build documentation:

$ grunt docs

Build + Test + Document

The build task of grunt will check linting, test everything, generate docs and build javascript source. So, to execute:

$ grunt build
