:boom: Breaking Changes

For more info, please read this article.

Compatibility

  • #3016: Drop support for unmaintained versions of Node.js (@boneskull):
    • 0.10.x
    • 0.11.x
    • 0.12.x
    • iojs (any)
    • 5.x.x
  • #2979: Drop support for non-ES5-compliant browsers (@boneskull):
    • IE7
    • IE8
    • PhantomJS 1.x
  • #2615: Drop Bower support; old versions (3.x, etc.) will remain available (@ScottFreeCode, @boneskull)

Default Behavior

  • #2879: By default, Mocha will no longer force the process to exit once all tests complete. This means any test code (or code under test) which would normally prevent node from exiting will do so when run in Mocha. Supply the --exit flag to revert to pre-v4.0.0 behavior (@ScottFreeCode, @boneskull)

Reporter Output

:-1: Deprecations

  • #2493: The --compilers command-line option is now soft-deprecated and will emit a warning on STDERR. Read this for more info and workarounds (@ScottFreeCode, @boneskull)

3.0.2 / 2016-08-08

:bug: Bug Fix

3.0.1 / 2016-08-03

:bug: Bug Fix

3.0.0 / 2016-07-31

:boom: Breaking Changes

  • :warning: 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.
  • :warning: Mocha may no longer be installed by versions of npm less than 1.4.0. 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. :joy:
  • 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:
  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 of 0. 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 and JSONCov reporters--and any relationship to the "node-jscoverage" project--have been removed.
  • spec reporter now omits leading carriage returns (\r) in non-TTY environment.

:tada: Enhancements

  • #808: Allow regular-expression-like strings in --grep and browser's grep querystring; enables flags such as i for case-insensitive matches and u for unicode. (@a8m)
  • #2000: Use distinctive characters in dot reporter; , will denote a "pending" test and ! will denote a "failing" test. (@elliottcable)
  • #1632: Throw a useful exception when a suite or test lacks a title. (@a8m)
  • #1481: Better .only() behavior. (@a8m)
  • #2334: Allow this.skip() in async tests and hooks. (@boneskull)
  • #1320: Throw a useful exception when test resolution method is overspecified. (@jugglinmike)
  • #2364: Support --preserve-symlinks. (@rosswarren)

:bug: Bug Fixes

  • #2259: Restore ES3 compatibility. Specifically, support an environment lacking Date.prototype.toISOString(), JSON, or has a non-standard implementation of JSON. (@ndhoule, @boneskull)
  • #2286: Fix after() failing to execute if test skipped using this.skip() in beforeEach(); no longer marks the entire suite as "pending". (@dasilvacontin, @boneskull)
  • #2208: Fix function name display in markdown and html (browser) reporters. (@ScottFreeCode)
  • #2299: Fix progress bar in html (browser) reporter. (@AviVahl)
  • #2307: Fix doc reporter crashing when test fails. (@jleyba)
  • #2323: Ensure browser entry point (browser-entry.js) is published to npm (for use with bundlers). (@boneskull)
  • #2310: Ensure custom reporter with an absolute path works in Windows. (@silentcloud)
  • #2311: Fix problem wherein calling this.slow() without a value would blast any previously set value. (@boneskull)
  • #1813: Ensure Mocha's own test suite will run in Windows. (@tswaters, @TimothyGu, @boneskull)
  • #2317: Ensure all interfaces are displayed in --help on CLI. (@ScottFreeCode)
  • #1644: Don't exhibit undefined behavior when calling this.timeout() with very large values (@callumacrae, @boneskull)
  • #2361: Don't truncate name of thrown anonymous exception. (@boneskull)
  • #2367: Fix invalid CSS. (@bensontrent)
  • #2401: Remove carriage return before each test line in spec reporter. (@Munter)

2.5.3 / 2016-05-25

  • #2112 - Fix HTML reporter regression causing duplicate error output (@danielstjules via 6d24063)

2.5.1 / 2016-05-23

Thanks @entertainyou, @SimenB, @just-paja for the heads-up.

2.5.0 / 2016-05-23

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).

Browser Tests in CI

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, 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

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.

"Minor" Release

You'll see mostly bug fixes below, but also a couple features--as such, it's a "minor" release.

TYVM

Thanks to everyone who contributed, and our fabulous sponsors and backers!
