No one asked, but I think this might benefit a few.

Using async/await

describe('My App - Upload Module', function(){
  it('Upload Module - ERROR - upload an expired file', async function(){
    try{
      let res = await _upload_license_file("/tmp/test_license.xml");
    }catch(err){
      err.should.have.status(422);
    }
  });
});

async function _upload_license_file(fileLocation){
  return superAgent.post(base_url + "/upload")
          .set('Authorization', 'Bearer '+API_TOKEN)
          .set('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data')
          .attach('xml_file', fileLocation)
}

I have worked here the error module, you can process the response object the similar way for pass cases.
