I'm using eslint-plugin-mocha
to put some rules on writing tests with mocha and here is what my .eslintrc.js
file looks like
module.exports = {
root: true,
parserOptions: {
sourceType: 'module'
},
plugins: ['mocha'],
extends: 'plugin:mocha/recommended',
rules: {
'mocha/valid-test-description': ['error', /^should/]
},
env: {
'mocha': true
}
}
This rule finds any test description that doesn't start with should
.
The error message looks like that
error Invalid "it()" description found mocha/valid-test-description
I'd like the change this error message to be more descriptive but the rule doesn't offer options to change this message. Do you know how with eslint to configure this ?
I've made a PR and this feature is available since version 6.1.0 of eslint-plugin-mocha
.
Here is how to define the error message:
rules: {
'mocha/valid-test-description': ['error', { pattern: /^should/, message: 'Should start with "should"' }]
}
// OR
rules: {
'mocha/valid-test-description': ['error', /^should/, ['it', 'specify', 'test'], 'Should start with "should"']
}
The documentation is available here.
Now the error message is:
error Should start with "should" mocha/valid-test-description
Note: the same feature is available for the valid-suite-description
rule.
