Mocha test: How to manually fail the test/ or assert without stopping the execution if the assertion fails?

[pataraut]

Hi

I have a Mocha test which performs multiple validation in a test. Something like this

test.it('multiple validation', function ()

{

check condition 1, if failed still want to go to next line

check condition 2

}

If I use Mocha assert or Chai assert on condition 1, if the assertion fails, it'll stop the execution and doesn't attempt to check condition 2.

If I catch the error thrown by check condition 1, then mocha doesn't know that the test fail.

So in summary:

Is there a call\or assertion library I can use to fail the mocha test without stopping the execution?

Thank you in advance for helps

Hi pataraut!

Yeah, because Mocha considers the test failed when it throws an (Assertion?) error, the normal execution flow is broken. So when I want to get that, I just put every assertion in its own it() call. Something like this:

describe('Validation', function() {
  it('isValidName', function() {
    expect(isValidName(1), 'rejects a number').to.be.false;
  });

  it('isValidAge', function() {
    expect(isValidAge(-42), 'rejects negative numbers').to.be.false;
  });  
});

Would that work in your context? 8-)

Try to use one assertion per test instead
