How to log correctly with Mocha/Velocity (Meteor testing)?

Question

What's the correct way to go about logging out information about tests using the velocity framework with Meteor?

I have some mocha tests that I'd like to output some values from, I guess it'd be good if the output could end up in the logs section of the velocity window... but there doesn't seem to be any documentation anywhere?

Answer 1

I haven't seen it documented either.

I don't know how to log messages into the Velocity window, though I don't like the idea of logging into the UI.

What I've done is created a simple Logger object that wraps all of my console.{{method}} calls and prevents logging if process.env.IS_MIRROR. That will only output test framework messages on the terminal. If I need to debug an specific test, I activate logging output for a while on Logger.
