[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#968182: mocha: fails at runtime: Error: Cannot find module 'strip-json-comments'

Package: mocha
Version: 7.0.1+ds1-2
Severity: important

running mocha for recent releases of project domino fails:

NODE_ENV=test mocha --reporter tap --no-timeout test/domino.js test/index.js test/parsing.js test/xss.js
/usr/share/nodejs/mocha/lib/cli/config.js:84
    throw new Error(`failed to parse config "${filepath}": ${err}`);
    ^

Error: failed to parse config "/build/node-domino-2.1.6~ds/.mocharc.json": Error: Cannot find module 'strip-json-comments'

It seems that the mere existence of a JSON-based config file
makes mocha require strip-json-comments.

Mocha should depend on (or at least recommend) node-strip-json-comments.
