Getting Started

Install the module with: npm install mocha-fixture-dir

``javascript
// Generate our fixture utils
var exec = require('child_process').exec;
var FixtureDir = require('fixture-dir');
var mochaFixtureDir = require('mochaFixtureDir');
var fixtureUtils = mochaFixtureDir(FixtureDir);

// Generate a tmp namespace for our tests
fixtureUtils.init('my-node-module-tests');

// Copy over folder contents (git-log) to temporary directory (/tmp/my-node-module-tests/git-log)
// This also cleans up the directory on after
fixtureUtils.mkdir({
folderName: 'git-log',
copyFrom: __dirname + '/test-files/git-log' // Folder with .git activity
});
before(function (done) {
// Run git log in our directory ()
exec('git log', {cwd: this.dir.path}, function (err, stdout, stderr) {
// Save our stdout and callback
this.stdout = stdout;
done(err);
});
});

it('retrieved git log in our fixture directory', function () {
assert(this.stdout);
});
`
