Plugin Settings

This plugin supports the following settings, which are used by multiple rules:

additionalCustomNames: This allows rules to check additional function names when looking for suites or test cases. This might be used with a custom Mocha extension, such as ember-mocha Example:

{
    "rules": {
        "mocha/no-skipped-tests": "error",
        "mocha/no-exclusive-tests": "error"
    },
    "settings": {
        "mocha/additionalCustomNames": [
            { "name": "describeModule", "type": "suite", "interfaces": [ "BDD" ] },
            { "name": "testModule", "type": "testCase", "interfaces": [ "TDD" ] }
        ]
    }
}

Configs

This plugin exports a recommended config that enforces good practices.

Enable it with the extends option:

There's also a configuration that enables all of our rules.
