"yeoman test" freezes

[eirslett]

mkdir yeomantest
cd yeomantest
yeoman init
yeoman test

I'm running the commands inside a VM on Linux Mint, bundled with Firefox 12.

When running the tests through the browser (index.html) I get this error: mochajs/mocha#549

When I run them through yeoman (yeoman test) it just freezes.

The issue was fixed for mocha version 1.4.1, but yeoman is using mocha 1.4.0.

Solution: Yeoman should upgrade the mocha dependency, at least to 1.4.1, or maybe even to the current latest version (1.6.0)

That should solve this particular problem, but more generally - if there's a javascript error in the browser, "yeoman test" freezes completely. Is there a way to detect that, and abort execution?

Looks like it's grunt-mocha that has the problem...

Hmm... "yeoman test" works for me on my Windows 7 host system (yeoman 0.9.4), but the tests still fail in Firefox. So the two problems are probably unrelated. I suspect my VM was running an old version of yeoman though, so the freeze problem might be solved by now.

Grunt-mocha was updated in 0.9.5
