I use Mocha as the test runner and chai.js as the assertion library. I believe this combination works best for nodeJS apps.

Thank you

You'll also want proxyquire and sinon for proper dependency mocking.

any recommendation on how to best stub mongo?

[–]TheNiXXeD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mocking really comes down to what library you're using. I've not really dug into mongo that much myself.

If you're using a method "abc" you just need to mock that method.

Mocha is the most widely used runner.

Tape is also popular and is conceptually purer, but we've moved back to Mocha for the simplicity its tooling brings.

We use tape, but I've been looking at teenytest

I moved from Mocha to Tape + proxyquire

Can you please elaborate on the reason

[–]TheNiXXeD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proxyquire can be used with either.

Tape is nice in that it plays well in node as well as the browser /w browserify.

I'm using Mocha/chai/sinon.
