Creating "strict use" mocha when working in node

Question

Is there a way to do Mocha tests in strict mode when working on node?

You can usually enable this in node by running node --use_strict . Is there a way to do the same for mocha ?

Answer 1

Add --use_strict to the mocha command.

So your command might look like this:

 mocha ./test --recursive --use_strict 

Answer 2

It is not possible to pass --use_strict to mocha, and this was done on purpose. Read the discussion in more detail.

If you really want this behavior, you can use forch mocha sources or load this npm module primarily in your tests.

Answer 3

I would just start test scripts with 'use strict';
