I am running mocha tests using gruntjs and grunt-simple-mocha: https://github.com/yaymukund/grunt-simple-mocha
How can I access the options defined in my grunt.js file within each mocha test?
What I would like to accomplish, is to have some common configuration in my gruntfile, and use that in my tests.

The nice way to do this is to add a "test" npm script in package. json that calls mocha with the right arguments. This way your package. json also describes your test structure.
function importTest(name, path) { describe(name, function () { require(path); }); } var common = require("./common"); describe("top", function () { beforeEach(function () { console. log("running something before each test"); }); importTest("a", './a/a'); importTest("b", './b/b'); after(function () { console.
Mocha does not run individual tests in parallel. That means if you hand Mocha a single, lonely test file, it will spawn a single worker process, and that worker process will run the file. If you only have one test file, you'll be penalized for using parallel mode. Don't do that.
The one way I found already is using global values, which is not very good, but works
inside grunt.js config
global.hell = 'hey you';
inside test
console.log(global.hell);
inspecting one more way now, maybe it will be better
--EDIT
No, seems it's the one I will stop at, if I don't want to end up with some black magic like in mocha-as-promised, because i don't have skills to write that.
--EDIT
Also you can take a look at this - https://github.com/visionmedia/mocha/wiki/Shared-Behaviours you can share some object between tests, but not sure if it will help with grunt

As far as I'm aware there is no way to push any objects into your mocha suit. The only other interpretation I can think of for your question, you would like to load a common set of configs among your test files. I dont belive you can, other than at the very top of your test files loading a common config file to be availble to your test methods.
