getting Script Error in html reporter.

[c4milo]

I might be doing something wrong. But I'm getting a "Script error" when my assertions fail.

Here are my specs
https://gist.github.com/1497704

I'm getting the following error in the development console:

Uncaught AssertionError: expected [ { code: '026',
    description: 'Resource not found.',
    httpCode: 404 } ] to be empty

Sorry it's giving your trouble... I have a few thoughts:

• Make sure you are using chai v0.1.3 (released yesterday). It specifically dealt with an issue with error reporting and this could be a side effect.
• Your should.be.empty() should actually be should.be.empty. The empty check is a getter, not a function.
• You shouldn't require('chai'). To make is accessible to other test frameworks aside from mocha, when using it in the browser, it is on the global window object. Just do var should = chai.should() before your mocha.run().

And lastly. If all else fails, try the same tests using the expect interface. It is a nasty business extending Object.prototype in the browser, which is what the should interface does.

Let me know how it goes. If you have further trouble, please also include your browser and version so I can attempt to reproduce. Thanks, and good luck.

I'm still getting "Script error" though :/.

• Browser version is Google Chrome 16.0.912.63
• package.json dependencies

"dependencies": {
    "socket.io-client": "0.8.7", 
    "uglify-js": "1.1.0", 
    "chai": "0.1.3", 
    "mocha": "0.7.0"
  }

My runner.html and specs.js are looking like https://gist.github.com/1498083 now.

I have been able to duplicate this, however I don't think it is a problem with chai... I think it is mocha. Here is why...

I took chai completely out of the equation: https://gist.github.com/1498455

The async error will throw the "Script Error" in the console as well, even when not using swarm or chai.

I suggest opening an issue with mocha, and your welcome to reference this thread and gists as use case.
