Running unit tests takes a lot of time in my computer, but the reporting time from mocha is not that bad. If I run this command:
time mocha $(find src -type d -name "__tests__" -exec find {} -type f \;)
I get this result:
1396 passing (4s)
10 pending
mocha 20.31s user 1.15s system 85% cpu 25.115 total
You can see that it takes 4s for mocha to run tests but actual test run takes much longer (25s). I cannot imagine why is it so slow, finding tests is quick:
find src -type d -name "__tests__" -exec find {} -type f \; 0.07s user 0.13s system 58% cpu 0.327 total
Any idea why is it so slow and how to make it faster?
I found a similar problem that was down to my antivirus software (Sophos) having on-access file scanning enabled. Disabling that reduced total run-time from ~14.5s
to ~1s
With scanning enabled:
mocha index.test.js 1.18s user 0.29s system 9% cpu 14.747 total
With scanning disabled:
mocha index.test.js 1.11s user 0.27s system 103% cpu 1.336 total
For me it was another issue. I was running the tests on an SSHFS filesystem which caused the slowdown. A simple copy to a local directory solved the problem.
