Inconsistency between CircleCI Local CLI and CircleCI online version

Build Environment
1

Hi, I have been facing some inconsistencies when trying to use mocha and chai to run my tests.
Using the CircleCI Local CLI my tests are successful, however, on the online version the same tests are falling.

My config File
version: 2

    jobs:

      build:
        docker:
          - image: circleci/node:9.5-browsers

              PORT: 8080

Note: running mocha and chai without circle Ci the tests are also successful, I have tried multiple ports but the tests on the online version keeps falling

Thanks!

Most importantly, copy & pasting as much of your config as possible as well as the output of circleci version from your local machine. Thank you.

Hi @halfer I just update the post as you requested!

Circleci local version
0.0.4994-4605912

Marvellous, thanks. Iā€™m a JS ignoramus, but Iā€™d start off with comparing the versions of Node, Yarn, Mocha and Chai.

Also, does this start up a real Node server? If so, maybe SSH into the box, try running the tests again, and use another SSH session to see if the server process is listening? I imagine you can put a sleep in one of your tests to give you more time to explore.
