The Mocha javascript test framework version 1.1.0 is out. If you want a quick glance here’s the changelog:

• Added: check each mocha(1) arg for directories to walk
• Added --recursive [tricknotes]
• Added context for BDD [hokaccha]
• Added styling for new clickable titles
• Added clickable suite titles to HTML reporter
• Added warning when strings are thrown as errors
• Changed: green arrows again in HTML reporter styling
• Changed ul/li elements instead of divs for better copy-and-pasting [joliss]
• Fixed issue #325 - add better grep support to js api
• Fixed: save timer references to avoid Sinon interfering.

Mocha will now iterate the arguments passed and load files in any given directories (non-recursively). For example you may now use mocha spec if you have tests in ./spec instead of mocha spec/* - which is especially helpful for the unfortunate few stuck on windows.

The new --recursive flag compliments the previous feature, but walks the directories recursively.

Suite titles are now clickable, auto-grepping. For example if you have the following suite:

You could use ?grep=SOMESTRING, or simply click the title to re-execute tests within that suite as shown here:

That’s it for now :)

The node.js markdown documentation is now viewable in the terminal via mad(1):

Just use mad list to see which pages are available:

If you already have mad(1) installed simply run mad --update to grab these new pages, and view with mad node.http etc.
