Support mocha@6

[alexkvak]

Have you plans to support mocha v6?

[1999]

There shouldn't be any problems with that. Maybe you can consider sending a PR for this?
Please don't forget that mocha-parallel-tests is being tested with all mocha versions: https://github.com/mocha-parallel/mocha-parallel-tests/blob/master/package.json#L54

But there are at least two problems:

• getOptions is deprecated
• Statistics was refactor Refactor statistics mochajs/mocha#3458 so there is no Base.stats object anymore.

It is possible to support old version (<6) after these changes?

[1999]

Let's start with the PR :) IIRC mocha-parallel-tests doesn't rely on these APIs so I think it should be fine.

ok, I've created #218

IIRC mocha-parallel-tests doesn't rely on these APIs so I think it should be fine.

of course it relies. During test run I become a lot of errors such TypeError: Cannot read property 'passes' of undefined at Spec.Base.epilogue and DeprecationWarning: getOptions() is DEPRECATED and will be removed from a future version of Mocha. Use loadOptions() instead Unhandled asynchronous exception

[1999]

That's still good to know. Can we fix these issues first?

DeprecationWarning: getOptions() is DEPRECATED and will be removed from a future version of Mocha. Use loadOptions() instead

As for this error:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'passes' of undefined at Spec.Base.epilogue

Seems like mocha changed the way passes/fails are stored inside the runner or maybe runner is no more a thing. Would you like to investigate this or I can take a look at it in about a week or so?

[1999]

We're almost there. Mocha@6 support is in the master branch.
I'll finish a couple of clean up tasks and publish a new version of mocha-parallel-tests tomorrow.

Awesome news!

Okies, mocha-parallel-tests@2.1.0 has just been published. Enjoy!
