Mocha version is outdated

[tchapeaux]

The current version of mocha used in this project is 3.0.2

mocha-browserstack/package.json

Line 30 in 1b04e5f

"mocha": "^3.0.2",

As of writing this comment, the current mocha version is 10.0.0
https://www.npmjs.com/package/mocha

One feature added in version 8.0.0 is tne parallel mode, which would allow to get rid of another dependency (which hasn't been updated for 4 years)

mocha-browserstack/package.json

Line 31 in 1b04e5f

"mocha.parallel": "^0.12.0",

Is there a plan to update the starter project so that the dependencies are up-to-date? Currently the starter project is not practical because online documentation of older version of mocha are not available anymore, and many basic features are missing,

Note that another dependency could be removed

mocha-browserstack/package.json

Line 28 in 1b04e5f

"bluebird": "^3.4.6",

This library is obsolete since the introduction of Promise in Node 12 in 2019. All supported versions of Node now support Promises.

Hi @tchapeaux, checkout the sdk branch which will soon be the main branch of this repo. It resolves the outdated mocha dependencies and has a deep integration with the Mocha runner and BrowserStack.

Thanks for pointing out bluebird, we'll take a look at it.
