Upgrade dependencies

[mroderick]

This PR upgrades the participating dependencies to latest

Background

I was trying to figure out why nyc failed to report coverage properly in my repository, when I came across this repository.

Thinking that it might recent changes that caused nyc to miscalculate for my repository, I tried upgrading dependencies in this repository. It still works just fine

Solution

Upgrade dependencies, so others might not spend as long on it as I have

How to verify

1. Check out this branch
2. npm ci
3. npm test
4. Observe that nyc still calculates coverage correctly for all files

[mroderick]

For completeness: I discovered that the reason for why nyc was not working in my repository, was that I was using node 12, which has some open issue: istanbuljs/nyc#1104.

Forcing the repository to use node 10, makes coverage work just fine.

... or not.

However, removing node_modules/.cache/esm/ before running coverage does work.

I turned off cache in the nyc config and now it works without removing the node_modules/.cache/esm/

This is quite embarrassing!

I have been locked away most of the time in GHE at my job and never realised there was a PR here until you closed it 🤦

Kudos @mroderick and @artfulhacker for the feedback! I am quite glad someone found this boilerplate useful. I never had anyone star or fork any project ever so this is all quite surprising for me!

I actually only used the boilerplate a couple of times. I mostly do these boilerplates once every couple of years and purely for research purposes, to establish the state of the art.

I will probably do one in 2021 and will take inspiration from this!

@mroderick I also noticed I may have caused some frustration to people trying to make nyc work here https://github.com/andrezero/boilerplate-esm-nyc-mocha/issues

Do you believe this boilerplate is still relevant in 2021? If so, do you mind reopening a PR with all the tweaks you have done on your side?

If not I will probably add a big warning to the README!

[mroderick]

I think this boilerplate is still very relevant, as it shows people that it's still possible to get work done with minimal use of packages.

very ❤️ warming @mroderick and uplifting

thank you so much for not giving up on me
