meteor-mocha-web allows you to easily and safely run mocha tests within the Meteor framework. This means you can write tests that use and examine Meteor collections.

Here's an example using CoffeeScript (or check out the full Meteor project w/ tests)

describe "Leaderboard", ->
  describe "givePoints", ->
    it "gives 5 points to the user", ->
      #create a player
      playerId = Players.insert {name: "TestUser1", score: 5}
      Session.set "selected_player", playerId
      givePoints()
      player = Players.findOne(playerId)
      chai.assert.equal 10, player.score
      Players.remove {name: "TestUser1"}

You're free to write your tests in JavaScript or CoffeeScript. The chai assertion library is included in this package, but you're free to use a different assertion library.

Tests are only included when METEOR_MOCHA_TEST_DIRS is defined, so they will only exist on environments you specify.

1. Install Meteorite if you haven't already npm install -g meteorite
2. Add the smart package to your project. mrt add mocha-web
3. Add {{> mochaTestReport}} to the template where you'd like to see your test results.
4. When running mrt, specify where your tests live by setting METEOR_MOCHA_TEST_DIRS:

$ METEOR_MOCHA_TEST_DIRS="path/to/project/tests:other/path/to/tests" mrt

5. Customize mocha options by setting Meteor.public.mocha_setup_args (example below)

{
  "public": {
    "mocha_setup_args": {
      "ui": "tdd",
      "check-leaks": false,
      "globals": ["script*"]
    }
  }
}

  npm install -g phantomjs
  npm install -g mocha-phantomjs
  mocha-phantomjs http://localhost:3000
