Currently, the b2g desktop builds created by buildbot have a strange problem that prevents them from being able to run gaia unit tests (bug 855049). James Lal has a hack to mocha that allows them to run. We should land this as a temporary fix in order to allow us to get the tests running in TBPL, and then revert it once bug 855049 is resolved.

Comment on attachment 736465 [details] Pointer to Github pull request: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/pull/9125 This is the patch you sent me a couple of weeks ago; it seems to work fine.

Unfortunately, this patch, which works with the buildbot testrunner, breaks the Gaia testrunner, according to travis: https://travis-ci.org/mozilla-b2g/gaia/builds/6262212 James will have to take a look when he gets a chance.

The build problem that was making this hack necessary has solved itself, so we no longer need any mocha hack to get the tests running.
