Run Mocha test about devtool HOT 8 CLOSED

Any chance you can put together a small test case? I've never used mocha before.

from devtool.

Sure, I created a dummy repo just to show the error.

https://github.com/zzarcon/mocha-electron-error

I tried also with absolute paths but don't work:

$ /usr/local/opt/nvm/v0.10.39/bin/devtool /usr/local/opt/nvm/v0.10.39/bin/mocha

from devtool.

For some reasons is unable to find the init.js file

from devtool.

I just ran your test through devtool and it seemed to work fine for me. Here's the command I ran from your repo:

devtool ./node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha -qc -- ./test/dummy-spec.js 

(Note: Mocha seems to quit the process when all tests finish!)

That is a strange error, maybe it got corrupted during install? You can re-install globally like so:

npm install devtool -g

Also which platform are you on? npm version? I'm also not sure if node version matters but I've been testing on node@5.

from devtool.

Ok, so doing

devtool ./node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha

Works for me! My problem was that I was trying to run it like

devtool ./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha and $ devtool ./node_modules/.bin/mocha which is basically the same.

I tried reinstalling devtool globally again and using node@5 but still fails using my approach... So maybe is this something expected and simply I didn't know how to use it properly? or it's a bug of the mocha cli?

Thanks very much for the help

Sadly the mocha script spawns a new process which means we can't easily debug it, which is why _mocha is used instead. More discussion: s-a/iron-node#51

I see, i will close the issue now since there's nothing wrong with Devtool ^^

Thanks for the info 💪

Added this to the readme under Grunt/Gulp/Mocha section. 😄
