In AMD Scripts

 'define' is not defined.

In Mocha test cases

 'describe' is not defined.
 'it' is not defined.

Just to expand a bit, here's a .jshintrc setup for Mocha:

{
  ....
  "globals"   : {
    /* MOCHA */
    "describe"   : false,
    "it"         : false,
    "before"     : false,
    "beforeEach" : false,
    "after"      : false,
    "afterEach"  : false
  }
}

From the JSHint Docs - the false (the default) means the variable is read-only.

If you are defining globals only for a specific file, you can do this:

/*global describe, it, before, beforeEach, after, afterEach */
