#4657: Browser: add separate bundle for modern browsers (@juergba)

We added a separate browser bundle mocha-es2018.js in javascript ES2018, as we skipped the transpilation down to ES5. This is an experimental step towards freezing Mocha's support of IE11.

💥 Breaking Changes

#4633: Drop Node.js v10.x support (@juergba)
#4635: import-first loading of test files (@giltayar)

Mocha is going ESM-first! This means that it will now use ESM import(test_file) to load the test files, instead of the CommonJS require(test_file). This is not a problem, as import can also load most files that require does. In the rare cases where this fails, it will fallback to require(...). This ESM-first approach is the next step in Mocha's ESM migration, and allows ESM loaders to load and transform the test file.

`v8.2.0`

Compare Source

The major feature added in v8.2.0 is addition of support for global fixtures.

While Mocha has always had the ability to run setup and teardown via a hook (e.g., a before() at the top level of a test file) when running tests in serial, Mocha v8.0.0 added support for parallel runs. Parallel runs are incompatible with this strategy; e.g., a top-level before() would only run for the file in which it was defined.

With global fixtures, Mocha can now perform user-defined setup and teardown regardless of mode, and these fixtures are guaranteed to run once and only once. This holds for parallel mode, serial mode, and even "watch" mode (the teardown will run once you hit Ctrl-C, just before Mocha finally exits). Tasks such as starting and stopping servers are well-suited to global fixtures, but not sharing resources--global fixtures do not share context with your test files (but they do share context with each other).

Here's a short example of usage:

// fixtures.js

// can be async or not
exports.mochaGlobalSetup = async function() {
  this.server = await startSomeServer({port: process.env.TEST_PORT});
  console.log(`server running on port ${this.server.port}`);
};

exports.mochaGlobalTeardown = async function() {
  // the context (`this`) is shared, but not with the test files
  await this.server.stop();
  console.log(`server on port ${this.server.port} stopped`);
};

// this file can contain root hook plugins as well!
// exports.mochaHooks = { ... }

Fixtures are loaded with --require, e.g., mocha --require fixtures.js.

For detailed information, please see the documentation and this handy-dandy flowchart to help understand the differences between hooks, root hook plugins, and global fixtures (and when you should use each).

- Support custom worker-process-only reporters (Runner.prototype.workerReporter()); reporters should subclass ParallelBufferedReporter in mocha/lib/nodejs/reporters/parallel-buffered
- Allow opt-in of object reference matching for "sufficiently advanced" custom reporters (Runner.prototype.linkPartialObjects()); use if strict object equality is needed when consuming Runner event data

`v8.1.0`

Compare Source

In this release, Mocha now builds its browser bundle with Rollup and Babel, which will provide the project's codebase more flexibility and consistency.

While we've been diligent about backwards compatibility, it's possible consumers of the browser bundle will encounter differences (other than an increase in the bundle size). If you do encounter an issue with the build, please report it here.

This release does not drop support for IE11.

`v5.0.2`

This release fixes a class of tests which report as false positives. Certain tests will now break, though they would have previously been reported as passing. Details below. Sorry for the inconvenience!

🐛 Fixes

#3226: Do not swallow errors that are thrown asynchronously from passing tests (@boneskull). Example:

```js it('should actually fail, sorry!', function (done) { // passing assertion assert(true === true);

// test complete & is marked as passing done();

// ...but something evil lurks within setTimeout(() => { throw new Error('chaos!'); }, 100); }); ```

Previously to this version, Mocha would have silently swallowed the chaos! exception, and you wouldn't know. Well, now you know. Mocha cannot recover from this gracefully, so it will exit with a nonzero code.

Maintainers of external reporters: If a test of this class is encountered, the Runner instance will emit the end event twice; you may need to change your reporter to use runner.once('end') intead of runner.on('end').

Mocha starts off 2018 right by again dropping support for unmaintained rubbish.

Welcome @vkarpov15 to the team!

💥 Breaking Changes

#3148: Drop support for IE9 and IE10 (@Bamieh) Practically speaking, only code which consumes (through bundling or otherwise) the userland buffer module should be affected. However, Mocha will no longer test against these browsers, nor apply fixes for them.
