I use runtime skipping from Mocha for the same scenario as you're describing. It is the copy paste from the docs:

it('should only test in the correct environment', function() {
  if (/* check test environment */) return this.skip();

  // make assertions
});

As you can see, it skips the test based on environment. My own condition is if(process.env.NODE_ENV === 'continuous-integration').
