Working through a Mocha section of modules on Codecademy, I thought I was getting it but when i tried to practice on my computer for a basic function, it’s not working.
Clearly I am missing something and I am struggling to find the answer.
When I copy and paste the class from codecademy that all works fine on my computer, so I know its not a node/mocha/package.json issue.
The function below is basic just for the purposes of testing mocha.
Any help would be much appreciated.
*Note – The code below includes the code from CodeCademy that works when uncommented. The only difference I can see between the two is that CodeCademy is calling a method from a class.
*
This is the function within index.js
const returnThree = () => {
return 3;
}
module.exports = returnThree;
/* const Calculate = {
factorial(inputInt) {
if (inputInt === 0){
return 1;
}
for(let x = inputInt - 1; x > 0; x --){
inputInt *= x;
}
return inputInt;
}
}
module.exports = Calculate; */
This is the code within index.js
const assert = require("assert");
const Calculate = require('./index.js')
describe('returnThree', () => {
it('returns the number three', () =>{
const expectedAnswer = 3;
const result = Calculate.returnThree();
assert.strictEqual(result, expectedAnswer);
})
});
/*
describe('Calculate', () => {
describe('.factorial', () => {
it('returns the multiple of all the integers before it', () => {
const testNumber = 5;
const expectedAnswer = 120;
const result = Calculate.factorial(testNumber);
assert.equal(result, expectedAnswer);
});
it('returns the multiple of all the integers before it', () => {
const testNumber = 3;
const expectedAnswer = 6;
const result = Calculate.factorial(testNumber);
assert.equal(result, expectedAnswer);
});
it('returns 1 when you pass in 0.', ()=>{
const testNumber = 0;
const expectedAnswer = 1;
const result = Calculate.factorial(testNumber);
assert.equal(result, expectedAnswer);
})
});
});
*/
This is what is in the package.json file
