Trying to ru tests of derbyjs

[Juzer Ali]

I tried to run tests for Derbyjs on my Ubuntu 12.10. First I got error that mocha doesn't exists inside ./node_modules/racer/node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha: . I wonder why mocha is required in racer when I am trying to run tests for derby?

Secondly after I installed mocha in racer, I get following error

Cannot find module 'expect.js'

Even after doing `npm install expect` both inside derby and racer, I get the same error.

I also tried loading expect from mocha.opts. I got following error

/home/juzer/Desktop/Open-Source/derby/node_modules/racer/node_modules/expect/expect.js:17

  expect.version = '0.0.2';

  ^

ReferenceError: expect is not defined

Can somebody please guide me how can I run tests with derby. Tests with racer are running fine.

Given that Derby is under "path" and Racer is under
"path/node_modules/racer" and tests from racer are running just fine,
simply call "./node_modules/racer/node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha" from
"path" to test Derby.

This assumes that racer's devDependencies were installed (which should
be because racer's tests runs).

mocha is required in racer because Derby's test suite is build on
racer's and racer already depends on mocha and expect.js

Racer tests runs when racer is cloned independently. But after installing racer via `npm install` from inside derby none of the tests runs. I get the error that expect is not defined. I tried requiring expect from mocha.opts, still no luck.

Juzer, have you tried running 'npm install' inside your racer folder?

[Juzer Ali]

I didn't know racer and derby are so tightly coupled. I did npm install in racer, still no luck.

`npm install` in racer should work. Make sure you're in node_modules/derby/node_modules/racer. The reason is mocha is installed as a devDependency, not a dependency (package.json) - and those are only installed when you're directly in that folder running `npm install`. devDependencies are for when you're actually developing that module, so you need test modules (mocha & expect.js), compilers (coffeescript), etc. Derby's Makefile just piggy-backs off Racer's devDependencies - if that's still giving you hell, you can just replace "./node_modules/racer/node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha" in Derby's package.json to "./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha"
