Travis ci fails with mocha+coveralls

Question

travis ci fails as the out put of reporter is empty string.

NODE_ENV=test YOURPACKAGE_COVERAGE=1 mocha --compilers coffee:coffee-script/register --require blanket --reporter mocha-lcov-reporter | ./node_modules/coveralls/bin/coveralls.js

It works fine in my local.

What do you have in your .travis.yml? – Jake

I've faced a similar problem, hope this post might help you a little bit. – Honor

Answer 1

You need to tell Travis CI to install the latest node before execution:

language: node_js
node_js:
  - "node"

Answer 2

It is because some tools is working only with latest version of node. I had the sample problem until i change version of node in my .travis.yaml:

node_js:
- "6"
