global whitelist?

[zeke]

I have some mocha test files I want to standardize, but I'm getting errors about describe, it, etc being undefined.

normalize-license* master » standard --format
Error: Use JavaScript Standard Style (https://github.com/feross/standard)
  test/index.js:7:0: 'describe' is not defined.
  test/index.js:8:2: 'describe' is not defined.
  test/index.js:11:4: 'it' is not defined.

I know this is one of the things some people don't like about mocha, but I'm a fan of this design choice, as it reduces boilerplate code in tests. Is there a way to whitelist globals in package.json or something?

Add this to the top of your file:

/* global describe, it */

For those who stumble upon this issue, @jprichardson's suggestion is a jshint thing: http://jshint.com/docs/

For mocha globals specifics , I use /* eslint-env mocha */
