To exclude specific files or directories from being executed by Mocha, you can use the --exclude flag with the Mocha command.


For example, to exclude TypeScript files with a .ts extension, you can use the following command:

1
mocha --exclude '**/*.ts'


This command will exclude all files with a .ts extension from being executed by Mocha. You can also use glob patterns to exclude specific files or directories that match certain criteria.


For more advanced exclusion options, you can also create a .mocharc.json file in your project directory and specify the exclusion patterns in the config file.


Here is an example of how to exclude TypeScript files using the .mocharc.json file:

1
2
3
{
  "exclude": ["**/*.ts"]
}


By using the --exclude flag or configuring exclusion patterns in the .mocharc.json file, you can effectively exclude specific files or directories from being executed by Mocha.
