repeat-it

Run a Mocha BDD "it" test as many times as you want

Why

You know a particularly flaky test can drive you crazy? This module makes it simple to run any test as many times as you want to figure out the flaky behavior.

Install

Requires Node.

npm install --save-dev repeat-it

Use

A Mocha / BDD test you want to repeat

before

describe('repeat-it', () => {
  it('repeated test', () => {})
})

after

const it = require('repeat-it')
describe('repeat-it', () => {
  it(10)('repeated test', () => {})
})

output:

  repeat-it
    ✓ 1/10 repeated test
    ✓ 2/10 repeated test
    ✓ 3/10 repeated test
    ✓ 4/10 repeated test
    ✓ 5/10 repeated test
    ✓ 6/10 repeated test
    ✓ 7/10 repeated test
    ✓ 8/10 repeated test
    ✓ 9/10 repeated test
    ✓ 10/10 repeated test

  10 passing (10ms)

Features

Supports it.only(n)(...) syntax to run single text N times
