I did this with specify and node tap several times and for several projects
To my knowledge there's no solution that completely solves all of this Nuno On Wednesday, December 11, 2013, Darren DeRidder wrote: > We do something similar just using Mocha to test an Express.js API server. > I wrote a little overview here: > http://51elliot.blogspot.com/2013/08/testing-expressjs-rest-api-with-mocha.html > > I had a lot of end-to-end functional tests initially with dependencies > between test cases. i.e. test 2 depends on test 1 completing successfully. > The dependency problems became apparent pretty quickly.
