Mocha v9.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2021-06-07 // almost 3 years ago
  • :boom: Breaking Changes

    Mocha is going ESM-first! This means that it will now use ESM import(test_file) to load the test files, instead of the CommonJS require(test_file). This is not a problem, as import can also load most files that require does. In the rare cases where this fails, it will fallback to require(...). This ESM-first approach is the next step in Mocha's ESM migration, and allows ESM loaders to load and transform the test file.
