mocha with nodejs assert hangs/timeouts for assert(false) instead of error

Question

I have this kind of a mocha test:

describe \'sabah\', →
    beforeEach →
        @sabahStrategy = _.filter(@strats, { name: \'sabah2\' })[0]
            .str         


        

Answer 1

For anyone with same issue: You should make sure that done() gets called even after an assert fails, like in the following code:

try {
  // your asserts go here
  done();
} catch (e) {
  done(e);
}
