In Mochajs, they use done()
to test for asynchronous code, like so:
describe('User', function() {
describe('#save()', function() {
it('should save without error', function(done) {
var user = new User('Luna');
user.save(function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
done();
});
});
});
});
What does this mean exactly? I did console.log(done.toString())
and I got this:
function (err) {
if (err instanceof Error || toString.call(err) === '[object Error]') {
return done(err);
}
if (err) {
if (Object.prototype.toString.call(err) === '[object Object]') {
return done(new Error('done() invoked with non-Error: '
+ JSON.stringify(err)));
}
return done(new Error('done() invoked with non-Error: ' + err));
}
done();
}
Is the done()
at the very end here different than the done()
in the first piece of code?
