How do I force a Mochajs test to end completely without continuing on to the next tests. A scenario could be prevent any further tests if the environment was accidentally set to production and I need to prevent the tests from continuing.
I've tried throwing Errors but those don't stop the entire test because it's running asynchronously.

Steps to Reproduce Run with mocha --timeout 1000000 test. js. Do not wait until the test finishes and press Ctrl+C to terminate it.
This inclusive ability is available in Mocha by appending . skip() to the suite or to specific test cases. The skipped tests will be marked as "pending" in the test results.
You can skip tests by placing an x in front of the describe or it block, or placing a . skip after it. describe('feature 1', function() {}); describe.
Learn how to run only one test with Mocha To run a single test (as defined in it() ), you can simply call the only() method on it in the following way: it. only('...', function () { // only this test will run... });
I generally agree with Glen, but since you have a decent use case, you should be able to trigger node to exit with the process.exit() command. See http://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_exit_code. You can use it like so:
process.exit(1);
As of the mocha documentation, you can add --exit flag when you are executing the tests.
It will stop the execution whenever all the tests have been executed successfully or not.
ex:
mocha **/*.spec.js --exit
