eslint-plugin-mocha

ESLint rules for mocha.

Install and configure

This plugin requires ESLint 9.0.0 or later.

Configuration via eslint.config.js

To use this plugin with the new eslint configuration format (flat config):

import mochaPlugin from "eslint-plugin-mocha";

export default [
    mochaPlugin.configs.flat.recommended, // or `mochaPlugin.configs.flat.all` to enable all
    // ... Your configurations here
];

Plugin Settings

This plugin supports the following settings, which are used by multiple rules:

  • additionalCustomNames: This allows rules to check additional function names when looking for suites or test cases. This might be used with a custom Mocha extension, such as ember-mocha or mocha-each.

    Example:

    {
        "rules": {
            "mocha/no-skipped-tests": "error",
            "mocha/no-exclusive-tests": "error"
        },
        "settings": {
            "mocha/additionalCustomNames": [
                {
                    "name": "describeModule",
                    "type": "suite",
                    "interfaces": ["BDD"]
                },
                {
                    "name": "testModule",
                    "type": "testCase",
                    "interfaces": ["TDD"]
                }
            ]
        }
    }

    The name property can be in any of the following forms:

    • A plain name e.g. describeModule, which allows:

      describeModule("example", function() { ... });
    • A dotted name, e.g. describe.modifier, which allows:

      describe.modifier("example", function() { ... });
    • A name with parentheses, e.g. forEach().describe, which allows:

      forEach([ 1, 2, 3 ])
          .describe("example", function(n) { ... });
    • Any combination of the above, e.g. forEach().describeModule.modifier, which allows:

      forEach([ 1, 2, 3 ])
          .describeModule.modifier("example", function(n) { ... });
