Description
While loading a js/cjs config file, Mocha uses the cwd-realtive path and as a fallback the module-relative path.
Edge case: a config file is successfully found, but its loading fails due to a bad require. There is no sense in using the fallback for a second file search which results in an incorrect error message.
Description of the Change
We add a
require.resolve()
check which throws in case no config file can be found on the cwd-relative path. If it fails, retry again using the fallback path.Applicable issues
