860896 - Land a mocha hack in Gaia in order to get Gaia unit tests operational on TBPL

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Griffin (:jgriffin)]

Currently, the b2g desktop builds created by buildbot have a strange problem that prevents them from being able to run gaia unit tests (bug 855049).  James Lal has a hack to mocha that allows them to run.  We should land this as a temporary fix in order to allow us to get the tests running in TBPL, and then revert it once bug 855049 is resolved.

This is the patch you sent me a couple of weeks ago; it seems to work fine.

Unfortunately, this patch, which works with the buildbot testrunner, breaks the Gaia testrunner, according to travis:

James will have to take a look when he gets a chance.

The build problem that was making this hack necessary has solved itself, so we no longer need any mocha hack to get the tests running.
