What's the best way to unit test an event being emitted in Nodejs?

Question

I\'m writing a bunch of mocha tests and I\'d like to test that particular events are emitted. Currently, I\'m doing this:

  it(\'should emit an some_event\', fun         


        

Answer 1

Just stick:

this.timeout();

at the top of your it statement:

it('should emit an some_event', function(done){
    this.timeout(1000);
    myObj.on('some_event',function(){
      assert(true);
      done();
    });`enter code here`
  });
