mocha-gwt

Given When Then for mochamocha-gwt is a proud rewrite of mocha-given, which is a shameless port of Justin Searls' jasmine-given. As everyone of course knows, ``jasmine-given`` is a shameless tribute to Jim Weirichs' terrific rspec-given gem
If you are not aware of any of the mentioned projects, I recommend Justin Searl's video Javascript Testing Tactics and the documentation to ``jasmine-given.`` In time I will most likely write documentation for this myself.I have been using jasmine and ``jasmine-given` for a while but I found myself more and more favouring [mocha](http://mochajs.org/) over jasmine. I find mocha to be a more mature test runner and it seems to have greater performance. I was also bothered by [some](https://github.com/searls/jasmine-given/issues/25) [bugs](https://github.com/searls/jasmine-given/issues/28) in `jasmine-given`` and mocha-given. Furthermore I wanted to utalize the promise support that exists in mocha. After looking at the code, and figuring out by hand how to write mocha interfaces, I came to the conclusion that a complete re-write where I had full fredom to experiment was the best solution. I now believe that I was right. Promise support. ``When -> Promise.resolve('foo').then (@result) =>` will make `@result` available in the following `Then` * Invariants will fail if you strictly return `false` just like `Then` and `And`` Invariants are enough to run a test

describe 'myFunction', ->

  When -> @result = myFunction @input
  Invariant -> @result == ''

  describe 'should return an empty string for undefined input'
    Given -> @input = ''

  describe 'should return an empty string for null input'
    Given -> @input = null

Multiple ``Then` functions in the same describe will act just like `Then`, `And`, `And...` I.e it will not rerun the `Given` and `When`` functions that belong to the suite. This might be changed to follow the standard. But I have myself never encountered a test where non-repetition was not the desire.

Usage

1. Install: ``npm i -D mocha-gwt` 2. Run mocha with it: `mocha --ui mocha-gwt` 3. To use with `coffee-script` do `mocha --ui mocha-gwt --require coffee-script --compilers coffee:coffee-script/register``
