Question

What is the procedure to run tests in node?

Answer 1

By proper mocking, you can bundle tests with webpack and run them on node without having depenceny on Browser API. It involves 2 steps,

1. Create webpack config: Create webpack config with proper .babelrc

   // webpack.config.js
   module.exports = {
     entry: './test.js',
     output: {
       path: __dirname,
       filename: 'test-bundle.js'
     },
     module: {
       loaders: [
         {
           test: /\.js$/,
           loader: 'babel-loader',
           exclude: /node_modules/
         }
       ]
     }
   }
   
2. Run testcases: First you need to bundle and then run them using mocha as below,

   webpack
   mocha test-bundle.js
