How to run different testing categories using mocha

[Abhijit Zanak]

Hello,

let us take an example, I have few test cases in my test.js file, out of that i want run only few having specific parameter.

say i want categories my test for sanity and regression, i have 5 test in my test.js, three of them are sanity and two are for regression.

how i can achieve this scenario ?

Either put the sanity tests in one describe() block and the regression in another, or ensure "sanity" is part of the description of all the sanity tests and "regression" is part of the description of all the regression tests.

Hi Abhijit,

I just wanted to add a bit to Doug’s answer.

So, latest Mocha’s has two options for filtering:

    -g, --grep <pattern>                    only run tests matching <pattern>

    -f, --fgrep <string>                    only run tests containing <string>

If I would have a special set of tests to run on specific occasions, one other option that I’d try is just to put them in a separate file, say special-tests.js, and run only that on those special occasions. :)

Cheers!
