Utility method for your Mocha tests that loads in your modules with RequireJS.

requireBefore.js

// Needs RequireJS's `require` and mocha's `before`

/**
 * Works like mocha's `before` function but enables you to load in dependencies
 * as well.
 * 
 * @param deps [Array] the dependencies passed on to RequireJS
 * @param callback [Function] the callback with loaded dependencies as arguments
 */
requireBefore = function(deps, callback) {
    before(function(done) {
        require(deps, function() {
            callback.apply(undefined, arguments);
            done();
        });
    });
};



// Example Usage:

requireBefore(['dep1', 'dep2'], function(dep1, dep2) {
  
  // dep1 and dep2 are available here asynchonously but subsequent tests are not
  // run until after the dependencies are loaded and this callback is executed
  
});
