Overview

As mentioned in #5065 (comment), wintercg/proposal-common-minimum-api#68 and https://twitter.com/_nicojs/status/1762508703863894472:

Nicholas C. Zakas @slicknet
What I want: To write JavaScript tests once and be able to run them across Node.js, Bun, and Deno.
Problem: Bun and Deno have built-in test runners you have to import from to run tests. I use Mocha. This doesn't work.
Solution: ???

There is a need for a cross-runtime testing library.

Mocha already supports browsers and node.js, what would it take to support eg. Deno and Bun as well?

Suggested Solution

Research what would be needed to support Bun and Deno and evaluate the feasibility.

Alternatives

Standardizing on a shared built in test API and move away from Mocha: wintercg/proposal-common-minimum-api#68

This would only solve it for those runtimes who are compliant with the WinterCG proposal though and not work for eg browsers. It also would mean running the tests in multiple different implementations of the same test framework, which can have unexpected consequences.

Additional Info

One thing I noticed when running Mocha on Bun: When there is a test failure, Mocha's exit code is 0, making it appear that CI is passing if you don't look at the console output.
