Introduction

Convenience functions for allowing clearer use of given, when, the bdd language when using Mocha.

Usage

Given('I have some pre-configured condition', function(){
    beforeEach(function() {
      setupPreConfiguredCondition();
    })
    
    When('I take some action', function() {
        const resultantBehaviour, expectedBehaviour = 'Dance like a monkey';
        beforeEach(function() {
          resultantBehaviour = takeSomeAction('Please dance like a monkey')
        })
        
      Then('I expect certain behaviour', function() {
        expect(resultantBehaviour).to.equal(expectedBehaviour)
      })
    })
})


function takeSomeAction(request) {
    console.log(request);
    
    return 'Dance like a monkey'
}

function setupPreConfiguredCondition(){
    console.log('The dance floor is ready');
}

Excluding Tests:

• xGiven()/Given.skip()
• xWhen()/When.skip()
• xThen/Then.skip()
• xAnd/And.skip()
• xUnitUnderTest/UnitUnderTest.skip()

can be used to exclude tests.

Focused Tests:

• fGiven/Given.only()
• fWhen/When.only()
• fThen/Then.only()
• fAnd/And.only()
• fUnitUnderTest/UnitUnderTest.only()

can be used for focusing on a specific set of tests.
