How to get it running with babel?

[lanwin]

I use ES2015 within my tests so I use it with babel as transpiler. With mocha this works via "--require=babel/register" or with "--compilers js:babel/register" but since mocha runs within Atom, it seems it can not load the local npm package.

There might be a problem with how the require is working. If I recall correctly, it was a copy-paste job from mocha... plugin should support these options, but I never really tried it so there might be unexpected problems running within the context of atom. I'll take a look later today once I'm home from work.

Thanks for the report.

Two bugs here,

• passing the equals sign a la --require=babel/register made it break
• the require was running from the directory of the plugin, not the project directory.

I've fixed both of these, should be pushed up with 1.1.7

Thanks, but I still get the following error "Uncaught Error: cannot resolve path (or pattern) '--watch-extensions'"

Possibly cause I have an --watch-extensions=js,es6 in my mocha.opts

[lanwin]

Hmm it seems not only this option is the problem. My mocha.opts looks like this:

--recursive
--watch-extensions=js,es6
--require=babel-register
--require=babel-polyfill
--reporter=spec
--bail

The window only opens when I delete all except the require tag but then it detects no test.

I see... man, I'm bad at this command line parsing stuff. I had watch-extensions in there but commented out -- it doesn't pick it up as an argument then assumes it's a path. Fixed in 1.1.9

Hmm that still dont work. Even when I try your example from readme I get:

"Uncaught Error: Unexpected token ..."
mocha-runner/lib/runner.js:47

My current mocha.opts

--require=babel-register
--require=babel-polyfill
--slow 500
--no-timeouts
--recursive
test/*_/_Test.js

[tswaters]

Interesting. Do you have a sample project I can clone to try to recreate this?

Have you tried adding --compilers js:babel-core/register to your mocha.opts?
