How to programmatically skip a test in mocha.js?

@gilbert 

In Mocha.js, you can skip a test programmatically by using the skip() function provided by Mocha. You can call the skip() function within the test case using an if condition to determine whether the test should be skipped or not.

Here is an example of how you can programmatically skip a test in Mocha.js:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14

describe('My test suite', () => {
  it('should run test case 1', () => {
    // Some condition to skip the test
    if (condition) {
      this.skip();
    }

    // Test case logic here
  });

  it('should run test case 2', () => {
    // Test case logic here
  });
});

In the above example, if the condition specified in the if statement evaluates to true, the test case 1 will be skipped using the this.skip() function. The test case 2 will still run as usual.

You can use any condition to determine whether to skip the test or not, such as checking the environment, configuration, or any other runtime conditions.
