Testing javascript with Mocha - how can I use console.log to debug a test?
What Mocha options are you using?
Maybe it is something to do with reporter (-R) or ui (-ui) being used?
console.log(msg);works fine during my test runs, though sometimes mixed in a little goofy. Presumably due to the async nature of the test run.
Here are the options (mocha.opts) I'm using:
--require should-R spec--ui bddHmm..just tested without any mocha.opts and console.log still works.
If you are testing asynchronous code, you need to make sure to place done() in the callback of that asynchronous code. I had that issue when testing http requests to a REST API.
You may have also put your console.log after an expectation that fails and is uncaught, so your log line never gets executed.
