Dynamically generating tests

[sairamnutheti]

We have a situation, where we need to perform an asynchronous operation to fetch data and generate tests for each of the data. Any thoughts?

const tests = asyncGetDataFromDB();
describe('generate tests dynamically', function() {
  tests.forEach(function(test) {
    it(test.desc, async function() {
      // make assertions
    });
  });
});

In mochajs generally, it is possible to utilize the delay / run technique mentioned at the bottom of this issue discussion:
mochajs/mocha#1483 (comment)

I can imagine how it's possible to enable this technique in nemo.

Another possibility would be to dynamically generate suite file(s) and point the mocha config towards the file(s) prior to running.

The second alternative could be accomplished more quickly due to it having fewer moving parts within nemo.

Thanks @grawk. If I go with the first approach will that need any changes in nemo runner? or will it work without any changes in nemo module?

[grawk]

Changes would be required for both approaches I think.
