Hi!

In my osx terminal i get the output of running mocha --help cut off.
screen shot 2016-09-04 at 16 41 57

I've tested on windows command-line and it works there.

Node: 6.2.0
Mocha: 3.0.2

Edit: I upgraded to node 6.5.0. And it now seems to work.

I can confirm this bug is present in Node.js 6.0.0 through 6.2.0. Neither Node.js <= 5.12.0 nor >= 6.2.1 exhibit this behavior. Whether or not we can do anything about it is anyone's guess. Would like to know why this happens, at any rate...

I'd imagine this is related to nodejs/node#6297

Lots of packages seem to have had a similar problem.

UglifyJS fixed it as so: https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2/pull/1061/files
I'm not sure if that's the kind of fix (slightly adhoc) that would be appropriate in Mocha, maybe someone who knows the code base better could check it out?

could probably do that, yes

Avoid output truncation in node 5.12.1-6.2.0
617b0f0 
As reported in #2471, the `help` command's output was being cut off.
Streams were probably being cut off in other cases too.

Solution borrowed from mishoo/UglifyJS#1061.

Closes #2471.

I'm gonna call this one. it's not worth bothering with; it affects a certain range of node v6 on certain environments, and has long since been fixed upstream.
