So I took on the task of upgrading our Ember app from 2.16 to 3.26. The application runs fine locally. Got through the lint errors (admit I just turned most of them off and then will turn them on as we can fix them). But for some reason the update and switch from ember-cli-mocha to ember-mocha broke something.

The tests run, then launch the browser like before but then just sit at 0/0 tests. The only warnings I see (other than some SASS warnings about break points) are

We have a second project here that did upgrade to ember 3.20 and those tests run. My test files mostly match up with that project but there has to be something small I am missing. Just wondering if anyone had ideas. I can post some of my files here but they seem to match up with the other project and what I see online.

I should mention when I open the browser I can see that the tests are built, there is just something disconnected in getting them to run. After that I can cry about how many are probably broken but first things first.

I started this upgrade a while ago and I thought I had unit tests working and almost passing before but then returned to it and updated it to the latest. That version was 3.4.4 but that feels like years ago.

Any ideas that could be helpful?

Hi, @sanshou. I feel like tests are what makes an Ember upgrade fun to do, with confidence, so I’m sorry to hear that your tests aren’t running anymore.

I haven’t used `ember-mocha` before, but was wondering if you might have missed updating other test-related package(s) to the latest version. To go from Ember 2.16 to the latest in 3.x, you will likely need to follow [migration steps for ember-mocha](https://github.com/emberjs/ember-mocha/blob/master/docs/migration.md). I’m not sure if this might help, but recent versions of `ember-qunit` required a developer to [update their test setup](https://github.com/emberjs/ember-qunit/blob/master/docs/migration.md). Maybe check it out in case it’s relevant to `ember-mocha`?

Maybe if you can share your `package.json`, at least just the packages related to testing (and maybe linting), I think that could help me or others help you debug.

Also make sure the ember-mocha blueprint was run:

```auto
ember g ember-mocha

```

If you did `ember install ember-mocha` it should have but if you installed via npm/yarn or just manually edited package.json the addon blueprint probably didn’t run and you need to invoke it manually per above.

I did do `ember install ember-mocha` and `ember g ember-mocha` just returns `unknown blueprint: ember-mocha`.

Hmm… The `package.json` showed `ember-qunit`, `qunit`, and `qunit-dom`. If you want to use Mocha, I think you may want to remove these libraries so that Ember CLI may generate test files in Mocha? (There’s `chai-dom`, which is similar to `qunit-dom`, I believe.)

I also wonder if you need both `ember-cli-mocha` and `mocha`, or if installing `ember-mocha` is enough, based on [https://github.com/emberjs/ember-mocha#installation](https://github.com/emberjs/ember-mocha#installation).

I wonder if I reverted something when I committed my changes to work on other things. I remember `ember install ember-mocha` installing chai and removing qunit from the package.json file.

Sorry don’t get a lot of time to work on this right now but I did run the install of ember mocha again and it did update the package.json file but still having issues getting tests to run. Just sits there with the open test browser doing nothing. No errors in the console other than SASS compilation warnings about break points and no console errors in the browser.

If I open the sources, the tests are built as is the testem file: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/emberjs_public/original/3X/6/0/60c546762f82f527150a077a4a262141efaa9a5c.png)

The only thing I can think of is that there is a disconnect with loading the files in the index.html file. I see the following at the bottom of the compiled file: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/emberjs_public/original/3X/5/b/5b1dc626557f60024622977a345f5670acc3cb69.png)

I don’t know if that looks correct or not.

Any other ideas?

What does your `tests/test-helper.js` look like?

```

Also I went back to my 3.4 branch that I had and the unit tests execute and run on it but now that I am up to 3.26.1 they fail to execute. I won’t say they pass but they do run.

Also I did add console.log statements to test-helper file and they do get triggered in the console. So it is hitting that at least.

Then it just hangs and sits there.

So have an idea on what is happening. The test files are being found but the load is failing when mocha tries to use require. Basically we have fixtures that we use during some of our testing so we can develop ahead of the server deployments. For this we use pretender and embed that when we make a non production deployment.

So in our sandbox we then create users that have different fixtures. So like for a German user we have a German user and some different data than an American user.

So to do that we add those users to the global object.

```auto
global.users = {
  default_user: {
    locale: 'en-US',
  },

```

But global is not defined and the import then fails. This does not happen in 3.4 but does in 3.26. Not sure if there are any ideas on how to fix this. I tried to create a global object `global = {}` but that just throws the same error.

Even after changing that the tests are no longer throwing an error on the require part but they are not being run. When you get to the mocha runner, in 3.4 the suite is filled in but in 3.26 the suites are empty. Still debugging. Not sure if there is something in the test setup.

I did notice that in my 3.4, the `setupTest('test: component')` and in the 3.26 branch it is just `setupTest()` but even updating them all the tests still fail the updated tests are not there.

So I think I have the unit tests running sort of. Instead of being 0 tests there are two running but they are returning `ReferenceError: global is not defined` still but I asked about why global cannot be used in [Ember Upgrade: global is not defined · Issue #655 · emberjs/ember-mocha · GitHub](https://github.com/emberjs/ember-mocha/issues/655).

The fix seemed to be removing `mocha` (not ember-mocha) from package.json. The weird thing is that my 3.4 working branch still had it there but another team that had 3.20 running unit tests did not have it so I removed it and got at least closer.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/emberjs_public/original/3X/4/e/4e0ffc50de6ff01b956fa5827bd631f97d8d1105.png)

Have no idea why this fixed things though and I would have never figured that out. I should have over 1600 tests so I am hoping the global thing just caused a bail and that there is not some other reason the tests are not running.

That’s very weird. Thanks for posting all your findings for posterity!
