JavaScript Standard Style does not recognize Mocha

Question

I have a Mocha test file that looks like this:

var expect = require(\'chai\').expect
var muting = require(\'../muting\')

describe(\'muting\', function () {
         


        

Answer 1

As pointed out by Nick Tomlin you just need to declare globals.

I use to put it in the command line, since I have different globals for tests as for sources or different parts of the project.

For tests we should use

standard --global describe --global it test/

elsewhere in my project I want to lint code that uses jQuery so I use

standard --global $ src/client/

Bonus tip

If you are using vim with Syntastic you maybe want to add to your .vimrc

let b:syntastic_checkers = ['standard']
let g:syntastic_javascript_standard_args = "--global $ --global it --global describe"
