I am trying to set up a simple ES6 project to play with mocha, chai and sinon in the Terminal. But whenever I try to npm run test
, I keep getting an error:
/Users/UserName/workspace/UnitTesting/mocha-sinon-chai/src/App.spec.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import should from "chai";
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token import
Here are my:
1. Package.json:
{
"name": "mocha-sinon-chai",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"directories": {
"test": "tests"
},
"dependencies": {
"chai": "^4.1.2",
"chai-as-promised": "^7.1.1",
"sinon": "^4.4.1"
},
"devDependencies": {
"babel-cli": "^6.26.0",
"babel-preset-env": "^1.6.1",
"mocha": "^5.0.1"
},
"scripts": {
"build": "babel src -d lib",
"test": "mocha ./tests/*.spec.js"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC"
}
2. .babelrc:
{
"presets": ["env"]
}
3. Root folder structure:
4. App.spec.js:
import should from "chai";
import { findOne } from "../src/App.js";
describe("App.js", function() {
it("should return true if predicate exists in the array", function() {
findOne([1, 2, 3], 3).should().be.true;
});
});
5. index.js is empty
6. App.js simply contains a normal JS function
I have checked many other similar issues here on Stackoverflow and GitHub and none of those solved my problem.
