Exceptions in hooks are silent

[weepy]

If an exception occurs during a hook (e.g. beforeEach) - it's lost silently - which is difficult to track down where the problem is.

seems ok to me:

describe('something', function(){
  beforeEach(function(){
    throw new Error('test')
  })

  it('should something', function(){

  })
})

  .

  ✖ 1 of 1 tests failed:

  0) something "before each" hook:
     Error: test
      at Hook.fn (/Users/tj/Projects/mocha/test.js:4:11)
      at Hook.run (/Users/tj/Projects/mocha/lib/runnable.js:150:29)
      at next (/Users/tj/Projects/mocha/lib/runner.js:165:10)
      at Array.0 (/Users/tj/Projects/mocha/lib/runner.js:174:5)
      at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:192:40)

ah, gotcha yeah i can reproduce that

[tj]

thanks for the report!

[weepy]

-- this doesn't appear to be in the latest mocha.js ?

additionally - it seems to junk the original expection. What was a "object is not a function" throws up "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'stack' of undefined" in mocha

[tj]

hmm i'll reopen and take a look

[tj]

closing, i'll add an issue for this specifically
